Dear Professor, Both of your letters (which reassured me) arrived here after a journey of six to eight days.
I will inform you briefly about the few things that will interest you.
Béla Lévy told me that we can expect on the part of Emil von Freund the liquidation of a rather large sum, probably to the account of the big fund.
