3 November 1939
Dear Nathan,
I send you enclosed a form for a power of attorney requested by the Zurich lawyer regarding registration, resp. transfer of a mortgage made out for 5,000 Sw. francs on the Hutten St. building. Mileva sent it to me with the comment that such a form had already been sent without success; presumably the thing got lost. Mileva wrote that although I could sign the power of attorney, the signature must evidently be provided by whoever officially sent the money, hence the Hutten St. Realty Corp. Please see to it that this is done soon.
With cordial regards, 
Yours,
	A. Einstein.
