	(from Portchester)]

Dear Miss Dukas,
Many thanks for the punctually sent news. The affair of the children in Chicago seems to me probably to be rotten, despite the new information—so long as the statistical assertions regarding the number of adoptions are valid. I heard that S. Wise’s daughter is well informed in this area and I shall try to contact her. I didn’t succeed in that today in N. Y. because it wasn’t prepared in advance.
I brought Maja from the clinic to Bucky’s today. She’s feeling quite well; she just has to stay under observation in Princeton because of high blood pressure. I’m coming home on Sunday morning in order to be able to go to the party in the afternoon. I had planned for Sunday

anyway. I hope I can bring Maja and Margot along. If you think so, let Judge Forman know.
Write a translation of the following letter to Prof. Oskar Seidlin, 43 West St., Northampton (a signed sheet is enclosed for this):
F[ull] T[itle]
I understand from Miss K. Rosenheim that she has applied for a position as receptionist at the German Department of your university. I have known Miss Rosenheim and her family for many years. Her father was a reputable physician in Berlin who successfully treated me for a serious illness some years ago. Miss R herself was a private secretary at the Pruss[ian] Ministry of the Interior for years. In this position and in her other activities she proved her merit excellently through her reliability and intelligence. She is excellently educated and has pleasant manners. I do not doubt that she 


would prove her ability in the position under consideration, and I would be pleased if she were given the opportunity to do so.

While translating, you can also make a few changes, as convenience (and necessity) may dictate.

Concerning Ehrmann’s letter, I have to go to the Ratnow dinner, of course. As I don’t want to bother the Lehmanns, please write immediately to Ehrmann (whose address I don’t have here) in this regard and suggest he inform Ratnow either himself or through Dr. Held. I also enclose a letter to Ratnow that can either be sent to him directly or through Ehrmann.—
The remainder can probably easily wait until I’m back home. I intend to write to Tolmann about Pringsheim but think that little can be done.
Have a good rest and best regards from the golden c[age] from your,
	A. E. (turn over)

The contest judging was amusing, in that the selected winning songs were silly enough. (Women’s El. League)
Also check when the Ratnow dinner is, so that the fellows don’t try to pick me up in Princeton & I’m still here.
Also inform Käthe Rosenheim, 100 West 80th St., Apt. 54 A, that I sent out the letter.
