[May 1934]
Dear Mr. Nathan,
We’re sitting comfortably at the seaside and listening to the rolling of the ocean waves and are devouring our way, by the sweat of our brows, etc., through provisions that gentle hands have far too copiously stocked for us. You receive herewith the introductory letter to Brandeis. Please don’t be disappointed with his callous manners—he really is a splendid fellow.
The checks that have arrived up to now (about 1,350 dollars) came from Mr. Matz. We intend to cash them when the rest has arrived, or else right away and send a check to the Genevan committee. What’s the name and address of that committee? ‹To which bank should› What kind of check should I order? Should it be made out in dollars or Swiss fr.? I think it would be best if I went to the bank in Westerley, about 5 miles away, to take care of the business.
Cordial regards and good wishes, 
Yours,
	A. E.
When are you coming?
