Lieber Max! Hiermit führe ich Herrn O. Kuester aus Den Haag, einen Kollegen und Freund von Gustav’s, bei Dir ein.-
Ich bin noch bei Freund Ernst in Utrecht u. er sucht mir mein schweres Emigre-Dasein zu erleichtern. Gesund bin ich noch. Aber ob ich bis Juni 1940 hier fortkomme, ist fraglich. Ich war vorgestern bei dem U.S.A. – Consulat in Rotterdam.

Was soll aus Marianne u. Viktor werden? Besten Dank für die $200.

Dear Max,
I would like to introduce you here to Mr. O. Kuester from The Hague, a colleague and friend of Gustav.
I’m still with my friend Ernst in Utrecht and he’s trying to make my difficult life as an emigre easier. I’m still healthy. However, it is uncertain if I will survive here until June 1940. The day before yesterday, I was at the American Consulate in Rotterdam.

What will happen to Marianne and Viktor? Thank you for the $200.
