Lieber Max- Albert!
Bitte schicke baldigst Deine Wäsche hierher ab, da Frau Cotiaux, die grüssen lässt, schon am Montag d. 22. M. Waschtag hat!
Ich sende Dir heute mit gleicher Post als Drucksache eine hübsche Schrift von A. Mittasch über Katalyse (vergleich. S. 56), die er nur für Dich geschickt hat. Du wirst gut thun, Dich mit ein paar netten Zeilen bei ihm [Heidelberg Quinckestr. 41) zu bedanken.
Die beiliegende japanische Adresse bitte in Deiner Liste zu notieren. Herr Phihage sandte mir neulich ein kleines Buch über Alte Alchemy im Orient, meisteins nur über alt. chin. u. alt japan. Schmiedekunst (Spiegel u. Spiegel).
Sonst gibt es nichts Neues. In Baden-B. sind Kurkarten u. Kurmittel fuer Juden gesperrt. Der Verkauf der „Münchener Mittleren Nachrichten“ soll jetzt verboten sein. Am 18ten/ erwarte ich Max Guttau aus Berlin zu 4stuend. vorm.-Aufenthalt auf der Durchreise nach Palästina.
Wie denkst Du über Marianne? Wie lange soll sie in noch in Berlin bleiben? Wie geht es Dir? Nichts Neues? Soll ich an Berl, Fajans, u. ev. Andere schreiben?
Herz. Grüsse von Vater

Dear Max Albert,
Please send your laundry here as soon as possible. Mrs. Cotiaux, who says hello, is doing laundry on the 22nd of this month.
Today, enclosed with this letter, is an excellent article on catalysis (compare pg. 56) from Alwin Mittasch, who sent it to me just for you. Please write him a thank you note. His address is Quinckestr. 41, Heidelberg.
Please note down the enclosed Japanese address on your list. Mr. Phihage recently sent me a small book on ancient alchemy in the Orient. It mostly discusses old Chinese and Japanese Blacksmithing (mirrors and mirrors).
Otherwise, there is nothing new to report. In Baden-Baden, entry to spas and spa treatments is barred for Jews. Supposedly, the sale of the newspaper “Münchener Mittleren Nachrichten” is also forbidden. On the 18th, Max Guttau from Berlin will visit me for four hours in the morning on his way to Palestine.
What do you think about Marianne? How long should she stay in Berlin? How are you? Anything new? Should I write to Berl, Fajans, and my other contacts eventually?
Warm regards,
Father
