Max Bredig (1902-1977) writes to Ilse Wolfsberg regarding her fiance, Fritz Hochwald (1897-1968). Bredig warns Wolfsberg of the potential for code words within Fritz' correspondence. In particular, he emphasizes that although Fritz has stated that he will arrive in Philadelphia, there is a possibility this is code for Palestine. Bredig reminds Wolfsberg not to send money without a license number and provides her with a check.
