P.S. Herrn Gustave Fraenkel

Ich ersuche Sie hiermit, mir keine fremde Leute (besonders aus Deutschland) für die ich mich für 5 Jahre haftbar machen soll.
Gestern kam ein Mann der von Hunan gesandt wurde, und verlangte von mir für ihn haftbar zu werden. Da unsere Regierung in dieser Beziehung sehr streng ist, muss ich für 5 Jahre die Verantwortung übernehmen, dass ich durchaus nicht gewillt bin.
Deshalb ersuche ich Sie nochmals mir keine Leute zu senden.
Achtungsvoll

P.S. Mr. Gustave Fraenkel
Hamburg, Germany
I hereby ask you not to contact me about strangers (especially from Germany), for whom I should be held liable for 5 years.
Yesterday, a man sent from Hunan, came and asked me to sponsor him. Since our government is very strict in this regard, I would have to be responsible for him for 5 years. I am not willing to do that.
Therefore, I ask you again not to send people to me.
Respectfully,
Gustave Kusk
