Cn Lisbon, 25.lo.43 ryans! bof / i/77.43 Dear R ob e r t & your last letter from 2l.9. I have still received here. With my lines v.3o,9. I told you that I wanted to leave here around the middle of October, but unfortunately fate has made me a dash through the bill. Last week's occupation of the Azores by the Anglo-Saxons caused a mood that smells of the Portuguese's imminent entry into the war against us; in my opinion, I believe that it is more appropriate that I remain here. --- For the case that I leave (I will tell you this in time) my local follower, comrade Stubaf.Dr. Vollbrecht (also accessible via Berlin-Schmgdf.,Berkaerstr.32) will take over the further care of Prague. I have familiarized him with the 'snails and secrets of the dark craft' until then. -- Today I am sending you another post of Czech emigrant newspapers from Newyork. Please tell me if you are interested in the content; I cannot read Czech, so I cannot judge the content. -- Your books will hopefully be satisfied; orders have already been placed -- RM 6oo's foreign currency has not yet arrived, now I am still presenting. -- In the meantime, I have also received a letter from my comrade Jacobi, who thanked for tea; it is not worth mentioning, the main thing if I have enjoyed it. I can't remember him anymore, but give him a warm greeting. 2g You yourself are quite warm in old comradeship, and I'm very pleased with your bei. St.M.π9-59f/43g
