Letter to Hermann Bachrach of Hamburg, in full (translated): "Thank you very much for the congratulations you sent me on the occasion of my birthday. The many expressions and demonstrations of solidarity and trust that I received on this occasion give me the courage to continue the work I am currently doing with renewed energy. They also strengthen my belief that I can count on the cooperation and active support of the organizations and the numerous individuals who remembered me on this day. This is the only wish I wanted to express on my birthday." In fine condition.

From the personal collection of a lifelong collector, teacher, and traveler with a passion for world history. His collecting years ranged from the 1970s to the present day, meaning that several of the premier pieces have not been on the market in decades.
