Lieber Hans,
Anbei eine Copie des Briefes meines Vaters, der mit gleicher Post an Dr. Johnson abgegangen ist. Ich wünsche sehr, dass die Hilfsaktion zu einem Erfolge führen möge.
Ist eigentlich der Name Dr. J.W.M DuMond, in Californien, vermutlich Pasadena, ein Physiker, der sich vor ca zwei und einhalb Jahren mir gegenüber* einmal lobend über seine Bekanntschaft mit Reis in Paris, auf Deiner Liste? Dieser Mann soll zwar keine eigentliche Stellung an dem Institut haben, aber viel Geld, und arbeitet auf Reis’s Special Gebiet aus eigenen Mitteln.
Wollen wir nicht nächstens einmal zusammen lunchen?
Freundliche Grüsse
Dein Max
*in Ann Arbor, Mich.

Dear Hans,
Attached is a copy of my father's letter, which was sent together with mail addressed to Dr. Johnson. I very much hope that the relief campaign will be successful.
Is Dr. J.W.M DuMond from Pasadena, California on your list? He is most likely the physicist who bragged to me* about his acquaintance with Reis in Paris approximately two and a half years ago. This man supposedly doesn’t have an actual position at the institute, but is very wealthy and works in Reis’ laboratory with his own resources.
Should we have lunch sometime soon?
Kind regards,
Max
