My dear ars. Zlabovsky:

MRS. ELSA M. WEINSHENK Field Secrttery

May we thank you for your excellent work in helping Horst Loewenthal secure his visa.

We should like to ask you quite oandidly if he presented any unusual complications. We feel that because of his youth and inexperience it is possible tha t he did not follow your instructions.

We would greatly appreciate your sending us a brief summary of your reactions toward Horst.

As you know, he has a considerable sum of money at his disposal and t he Committee for the ReadJustment of German Jews here would like as much information as we have on the boy, in order to determine his vocational aptitudes and make a general plan for the boy's future.

We wish to take this opportunity to thank you f or the f in work on Mr . Kinsky's case. He is very happy.
