OKT. 1942 Betr.: 2 paintings by S p i t z w e g. As the architect B e n z just announced on telephone request, the owner of the paintings did not show himself again despite twice the request. As I am also aware that there are currently Spitzweg fakes, I think this assumption is quite probable. Benz will keep me informed about the matter. The result will be reported immediately. hy 10/10 M St.@.0-8vi/41
