Sehr geehrter Herr Bredig,
Heute möchte ich Ihnen nur für alle Fälle den Namen des amerikanischen Botschafters in Madrid mitteilen: Weddell.
Hochwald schreibt, dass er „durch eine merkwürdige Verkettung von Umständen“ Mrs. Weddell persönlich kennengelernt hat, was seine Situation in Madrid „erheblich erleichtert.“ Vielleicht kann man sie als wirksame Referenz gebrauchen gegen 5th Columnist Befürchtungen etc.
Ihnen, sehr geehrter Herr Bredig, für all Ihre Bemühungen herzlich dankend verbleibe ich mit besten Grüssen
Ihre Ilse Wolfsberg

Dear Mr. Bredig,
Today, I would like to give you the name of the American ambassador in Madrid just in case: Mr. Weddell.
Hochwald writes that he met Mrs. Weddell personally “through a strange chain of events,” that “considerably eases” his circumstances in Madrid. Perhaps you can use her as a helpful reference against fears of 5th column activity
I remain very grateful to you, dear Mr. Bredig, for all your efforts.
Best regards,
Ilse Wolfsberg
