Draft:
To: The Minister of Culture and Education in Karlsruhe (Baden)
Re: No. A12449 on July 29, 1939 in Karlsruhe
from the Consul General of the German Reich in Amsterdam, Museumplein 19
I hereby request permission to transfer my place of residence from Holland to the United States of America (U.S.A). My address there will initially be in New York City with my son (Dr. Max A. Bredig c/o Vanadium Corporation, 420 Lexington Avenue).
On account of my worsening livelihood in Holland, I am absolutely obliged to leave immediately. I would like to apologize for this manner of application. I would request that the Minister of Finance and Economics of Baden inform you of this change.
Incidentally, you can still contact me there at my old address: Utrecht (Holland), Pelmolen, Plantsoen 6. I only resided temporarily in Amsterdam for the past few weeks.
