Letter from MvR to Otto Brauneck

‘Dear Mr Brauneck! I have just received your letter and want to answer it straight away. I remember that Lynker had already written to me about you, and one recommendation from this marvellous man is enough for me. That’s why I’m ready to ask for you immediately. A telegram will be sent to your colleague today, followed by a telegram to Kogen. It’s up to you to get your superior to let you go, because nothing can be done at Kogen. without his authorisation. There’s a lot going on here. We shoot at least one a day in flying weather. You will also find a very nice group of friends here. I look forward to hearing from you as soon as possible. With best regards.’
