Baeck,” both sides of a 4 x 5.75 postcard, November 18, 1942. Letter to Helmut Bradt of the Institute of Physics, in full (translated): "I was pleased to hear from your mother about the prize you received. Congratulations! Your mother visited me yesterday, and I had her tell me everything else too. I have great respect for your mother. She tends to her work like any needlewoman and keeps her mind on the good and beautiful, thus maintaining a happy disposition. She is model for many. In the summer I wrote to you at the hospital in Schwyz, but it appears that these lines never reached you there." In fine condition, with light creasing.
