Ilse J. Ursell, from the Society for the Protection of Science and Learning, writes to Paul Homburger (1882-1965) asking if Georg Bredig (1868-1944) was able to successfully immigrate to the United States. Ursell addresses Homburger as if he were Bredig's son-in-law when he is actually the brother of Bredig's son-in-law, Viktor Homburger (1888-1968).
