January 21st., 1943

Dear Mrs. Standish:

Very many thanks for your kind letter, and answering your question as regards Hans Waegen's family in this country and to whom you could write, the only ones I have ever known or heard about are in Europe, and thus beyond reach of our consolations.

I am very glad to read that the First Lieutenant is still in this country, as I realize only too well what anxiety must be your's with your oldest son in the Pacific. May I try to reassure you by saying that mail connections are, of course, very slow and the absence of news should not be construed in any particular way.

I deeply appreciate your suggestion of letting you know when next I am in Detroit, and I shall not fail to do so. I was there last year, but on a very short trip, and do hope that on my next visit I will be able to stay a little longer.

With personal regards, 

Yours very sincerely,

(Germain Séligmann)

Mrs. William Colburn Standish,
475 Lakeland Ave.,
Grosse Pointe, Michigan.
