Let us not only hope for the coming victory of Democracy, but also do something for it!” In fine condition, with a horizontal mailing fold passing through a portion of the signature and light toning. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. Mann had fled his native Germany for Switzerland in 1933 and emigrated to the United States with the outbreak of World War II in 1939.
