A letter handwritten and signed by Max Brod, addressed to a "Dr. Mayer" [Dr. Eugen Meyer]. [Tel-Aviv], September 19, 1947. German.
The letter was sent to the poet and journalist Eugen Meyer (1882-1967), who was the literary editor of the Palestine Post. In the letter, Brod refers to two articles about Franz Kafka which were published in the Palestine Post, and writes: "I believe your readers will be interested, for once, in hearing my perspective on this question, which is so tied with my name. That is why I wrote the enclosed article" [presumably, Brod is referring to his article "Comments on Kafka" which was published in the Palestine Post on November 7, 1947].
The letter is stamped in the upper right corner with Brod's stamp (with his Tel-Aviv address).
