An Appeal From Germany
pp. 63-64 · Read in the full issue
Letter to the Editor BEING on the point of establishing an International Correspondence Bureau I take leave to ask you to put me in touch with readers of your paper inter ested in friendly correspondence.
Having been secluded from the outside world these long years, and yearning for a real democratic enlightenment and a personal contact from man to man across borders, my members would only too gladly welcome and answer letters from abroad. Most of my members (among them scientists, students, experts, and other well-educated ladies and gentlemen) have a fairly good knowledge of English, out would also be pleased to write in German, if desired. I am sure my mem bers will try and give their pen-friends every satisfaction.
Pen-friendships are a step towards the creation of that international friendship and goodwill that is so essential to un derstanding and peace.
My address is: Miss A. M. Braun, 13b Munchen 15, Lindwurm Strasse 126 A, US Zone, Bavaria, Germany.
Yours hopefully,
A. M. Braun.
