Lieber Max-Albert,
Ich bin natürlich gerne einverstanden über Ihren Aufenthalt in Ann Arbor zu zeugen. Um ev. Fragen genau beantworten zu können, möchte ich Ihnen empfehlen Prof. Thomassen und mir die Daten betreffend die Zeit Ihres Aufenthaltes und Ihre hiesigen Adressen mitzuteilen. Man fragt manchmal ob man den Betreffenden in seiner Wohnung besucht hat. Es ist sehr erfreulich, dass die Sache vorwärts geht.
Ich benutze diese Gelegenheit um Sie um folgendes zu fragen. Auf den Air Mail Special Delivery Brief, den wir Sie gebeten haben nach Ihrem Besuch am Abend (Do. 4/III) in den Kasten zu werfen, habe wir bis heute noch keine Antwort, obwohl die Betreffenden sonst umgehend antworten. Eine Möglichkeit ist, dass unser Brief den Advokat nicht erreicht hat und wir haben vor 3 Tagen nochmals geschrieben. Sollten Sie durch Versehen den Brief noch haben (Zerstreutheit kommt ja bei Gehetzten vor) so wären wir dankbar für Rücksendung

an uns. Er enthielt ein Schriftstück von grösser Wichtigkeit und es wäre mühsam es nochmals zu beschaffen.
Herzliche Grüsse von Haus zu Haus
Ihr K. Fajans

Dear Max-Albert,
Of course, I’m glad to agree to testify about your stay in Ann Arbor. In order to be able to answer any questions precisely, I would suggest that you inform me and Professor Thomassen about the dates of your stay and your local addresses here. You are sometimes asked if you have visited the person in question in his home. It is wonderful that things are progressing.
I would also like to ask you about the following situation. To date, we have not received an answer to the Air Mail Special Delivery letter that we asked you to put in the mailbox after your visit with us on the evening of Thursday, March 4th, although the individuals concerned usually reply immediately. One possibility is that our letter did not reach the lawyer and we wrote to him again three days ago.
If you accidentally still have the letter (absent-mindedness can happen to those who are in a hurry), we would be grateful if you could send it back to us.

It contained a very important document, and it would be difficult to obtain it again.
Warm regards from our home to yours,
K. Fajans
