Lieber Herr Professor,

Seien Sie bestens bedankt fuer Ihre schnelle Hilfsbereitschaft; ich bin ueberzeugt, dass Ihr Brief an Dr. Johnson in bedeutendem Masse dazubeitragen wird, das Committee von den ausgezeichneten wissenschaftlichen Faehigkeiten unseres Freundes Reis zu uebertragen.

Ich hoffe, Sie und Max einmal im Baelde zu sehen und bin mit wiederholtem Dank und freundlichsten Gruessen

Ihr Ihnen ergebener
Hans. A. Straus

P.S. Ich fand Dr. J.W.M.DuMonds Adresse im Telephonbuch und habe ihn sofort geschrieben.

Dear Professor,

Thank you very much for your prompt readiness to help. I am convinced that your letter to Dr. Johnson will convince the committee of our friend Reis’ excellent scientific talents.

I hope to see you and Max one day soon. Many thanks again.

Kind regards,
Hans. A. Straus

P.S. I found Dr. J.W.M.DuMond’s address in the phone book and wrote to him immediately.
