ALS in German, one page both sides, 8.5 x 11, Heppenheim (Germany) letterhead, February 3, 1934. Translated from German. In part: 'I'd like to be helpful but don't see any possibility, yet. There's no fund as a dismissed university professor with no pension. I have no savings and no prospects to accumulate any. Those of my acquaintances, who have more than the necessary are socially obliged to their limits that they can't spare anything to other causes. As I had to notice repeatedly asking them for help for important people and causes.The only thought coming to my mind is asking if you could accommodate some of the young people you're educating and preparing for their rural work in Palestine unaware of the stipulations, I could, if you agree and let me know how many you could accommodate, trying to find out during my stay in Berlin next week.' In fine condition, with two folds affecting neither the signature or legibility, a light pencil notation in another hand in the upper right corner, scattered light creasing and a couple of small areas of light discoloration.
