Harry Helfman, a Michigan lawyer, regrets to inform Max Bredig (1902-1977) that he cannot accommodate his request to sign an affidavit for Bredig's brother-in-law, Viktor Homburger (1888-1968). Helfman states that he cannot take on responsibility for Homburger, as he is not convinced Homburger will be able to find work in the United States. Helfman suggests that the affidavit may have to wait until Bredig is regularly employed.
