Dear Mrs. Reichmann,  
Rome, 25 February 1946-  
You probably will have received already my letter dated 8 January 1946 which I sent you to Madrid. I am waiting for your answer and settlement.  

Today I want you to do me another favour. It is urgently necessary to get visas to enter Tanger for some families whom I list below. After these visas will have been granted it would be possible to bring these people away from their present residence. The authorization for the issue of the visas may be sent to the representative of the Government of Tanger, in Rome, an official confirm or a legalized copy may be sent to me. Certainly I am prepared to cover all expenses you will have for this matter.  

I thank you in advance very much and remain, with the best regard:  
Yours,  
JACOB GRIFFEL m.p.
