Thank-you Letter from Otto Meyerhof to Alexander Makinsky.

The letter reads:

American Export Lines. On board s/s “Exichorda.” October 16, 1940. 6 pm.

Dear Mr. Makinsky,

Just in the moment before the ship will leave Europe, I may write you a line to thank you in my name and that of my wife for all the kindness you showed to us, and for your incessant help and interest. You are one of the most comforting impressions we had now, in leaving Europe, under the grave circumstances of today.

With our best wishes and kindest regards,

Yours,
Otto Meyerhof.
