Lieber Max Albert!
Es wäre leicht möglich, dass ich in nächster Zeit meinen Ersten Assistent verliere, der in die Technik geht. Würdest Du diese Stellung annehmen? Ich brauche eine gute phys. chem. geschulte Kraft. Ich könnte etwa M 300 monatlich bieten.
Besten Gruss
Dein P Askenasy

Lieber Herr Prof!
Leider komme ich jetzt erst daran Ihre freundlichen Zeilen zu beantworten. Wie Sie gerade inzwischen von meinen Eltern gehört haben werden, hoffe ich bald ein Stipendium der Rockefeller-Stiftung zu einem Aufenthalt in San Francisco zu erhalten. Eher dies nicht entschieden ist, was erst in Januar der Fall sein wird, kann ich hier in Deutschland wohl keine Stellung annehmen. Ich danke Ihnen also sehr für Ihre Freundlichkeit, an mich.

Dear Max Albert,
In the near future, it is possible that I will lose my primary assistant, who plans to work in industry. Would you accept this position? I need a good employee, who is trained in physical chemistry. I could pay approximately 300 Marks per month.
Best regards,
P Askenasy

Dear Professor,
Unfortunately, I am just now getting around to answering your kind letter. As you will have heard from my parents by now, I hope to receive a grant soon from the Rockefeller Foundation to work in San Francisco. Until this is decided, which will not happen until January, I cannot accept a position here in Germany. Thank you very much for thinking of me.
