It seems that Georg will send this information to people he knows to help Max with his job search. In the letter Georg gives Max fatherly advice, telling him to not be too timid.

Lieber Max-Albert!

b) Liste Deiner Publikationen
c) Abschriften Deiner Zeugnisse
d) Kurze u. klare Beschreibung der Gebiete u. Leistungen, auf denen Du gearbeitet hast und Dir zutraust, künftig arbeiten zu können. Lass aber nicht zuviel Kleinmut durchblicken, das hast Du nicht nötig u. wird nicht geschätzt. M.E. ist Phosphat-, Carbid – u. N.Industrie. zu betonen, aber auch dass Du organ. Diplomarbeit gemacht hast, anorg. Chem. verstehst, die gute Karlsruher Ausbildung u. in Göttingen, München, K.W.J bei Pohl, Fajans,

u. Haber physik. chemisch u. dann jahrelang anorganische wissensch. für technischen Grossbetrieb gearbeitet hast.
Ich habe einige Brief z. B nach Amerika zu schreiben und werde dabei vielleicht auch gelegentlich für Dich sondieren.
Herzlichen Gruss von Vater.

Dear Max-Albert,
As soon as possible, please send me a copies of:
a) your curriculum vitae
b) a list of your publications
c) your diplomas and transcripts
d) a short description of your achievements and the fields in which you have worked in and feel confident being involved with in the future. Don't come across as too timid. You don't need that and it won’t be appreciated. It is important to highlight your experience with phosphate, carbide, and working in industry. Also mention that you wrote your Master’s thesis in Organic Chemistry, that you understand Inorganic Chemistry, and that you completed your education in Göttingen. Emphasize your experience working at K.W.J with Pohl, with Fajans in Munich, and in Physical Chemistry with Haber.

Lastly, mention your years of scientific work for large technical companies.
I have to write a few letters to B. in America and while doing so, will consult you from time to time.
Warm regards,
Father
