In a letter to Marianne Homburger (1903-1987), Max Bredig (1902-1977) wishes his sister all the best for her birthday and inquires about their father, Georg Bredig (1868-1944).

Liebes Anndel,
Auch von mir noch einmal die herzl. Glückwünsche zum Geburtstage. Heute erhielt ich Viktors Vollmacht. Wegen Vaters Kisten, scheint mir die Befassung, daß Ernst C. sie im Institut unterbringen könne, doch wirklich optimistisch. Hat er dann die Möglichkeit dazu? Correspondiert Ihr mit ihm? Vater ist ausserdem anscheinend, in der Verwirrung, in der er sich damals befand, in der Meinung von ihm geschieden, daß Ernst C. ihm sehr böse sei (und) ihr Verhältnis stark getrübt sei. Ich wüßte gern, wie es Ernst C. geht, ebenso wie Stefan G. u. Familie, sowie vor allem auch Schnell u. Familie, u. auch Gustav u. Frau.

Dear Annel,
Happy Birthday once again! Today, I received Viktor’s power of attorney. The idea that Ernst C. could possibly store Father’s trunks at the institute seems really optimistic to me. Is it possible for him to do that? Do you all correspond with him? In addition, in Father’s confused state at the time, he was apparently left with the impression that Ernst was very angry with him (and) their relationship was in deep trouble. I would like to know how Ernst C. and Stefan G. and his family are doing, as well as Schnell and his family and Gustav and his wife.

Entry visa for the immigration of the three boys? I haven’t heard anything more about the matter.
