ALS in German, one page, 8 x 6.5, May 25, 1943. Letter to Reverend L. Helie of Massachusetts. In part: “Prof. Skillings tells me you are thinking about organizing a concert for my trip to Worcester, Mass…I am deeply grateful for all your doing for me. Right now I have big expenditures…These trips are very expensive and I’m sending one of my Congo doctors to a better climate for a few months. All these expenses I wouldn’t be able to do without all the gifts I receive from the friends in the US. And there are expenses so necessary that I’m not taking my own vacation. I’ve gotten used to this bad climate a little and I’m doing well in spite of the long stay. Now it’s the beginning of the dry season where it’s less hot. So we’ll breathe better for three months.” In fine condition, with bisecting folds, and a couple corner tip creases. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RRAuction COA.
