His Excellency, The President of the United States, The White House, Washington, D. C. Sir:- Will you kindly permit me to send you under separate cover copy of a book which I have written on the American Law of Wills and Administration, appear- ing in the well-known series of Leske-Loewenfeld: "Die Rechtsverfolgung im internationalen Verkehr", Carl Heymanns Verlag, Berlin ? The said book, which is in the German langu- age, serves as a book of reference to courts and law- yers in Germany and to the German-language consulates in this country. As far as I know, it is the only German-language book on American Inheritance Law. May I. add that I am a German lawyer and have been advising for the past twenty years American law- yers on questions of German and international law. I am also a member of the Faculty of Law, New York Uni- versity, lecturing on Comparative American and German Commercial Law. Until his death in 1924 I was asso- ciated in German legal matters with the late Carl L. Schurz, Esq., son of the well-known American states- man and friend of President Lincoln, Carl Schurz. Up to recently I was for a number of years Counsel to the Agent of Germany, Mixed Claims Commission, United States and Germany, in connection with which work I be- came particularly familiar with American law, although I am not a member of the Bar in this country. I am an American citizen. -2- would Sir, have in international matters, I thought that you, you Having in mind the great interest which profession in Germany is highly interested to obtain welcome information of the fact that the legal in detailed information as to the law and its development this country.

It is furthermore proven by the way in which the book on American Jurisdiction was re- ceived, which Professor K. N. Llewellyn of Columbia University published recently in Germany and which aroused there quite a little attention. This exchange of legal knowledge I believe is to be welcomed highly, as one of the means to advance international understand- ing and good will in which you are so highly interested. I trust that I am not immodest when adding that my book was very well reviewed in some of the lead- ing law journals in this country. The Southern California Law Review, January 1934 issue, said e. g. : "As an impartial commentary on American Probate Law and a critical survey of the essential prin- ciples and distinctions to be found in the vari- ous States, it deserves a place among the lead- ing reference treatises on the subject Considered as a whole, the volume is decidedly unique among treatises on the American law of wills and administration. Even after allowances are made for obsolescence due to the ever-chan- ging nature of the field, the book remains re- markably accurate in its presentation of a. pic- ture of the fundamental distinctions underlying the laws of the various States. The method of -3- such presentation is one which might well be followed by American text writers." May I express the hope, Sir, that the book referred to will find a place in your library ?

As far as I know, it is the only\nGerman-language book on American Inheritance Law.\nMay I. add that I am a German lawyer and have\nbeen advising for the past twenty years American law-\nyers on questions of German and international law. I\nam also a member of the Faculty of Law, New York Uni-\nversity, lecturing on Comparative American and German\nCommercial Law. Until his death in 1924 I was asso-\nciated in German legal matters with the late Carl L.\nSchurz, Esq., son of the well-known American states-\nman and friend of President Lincoln, Carl Schurz. Up\nto recently I was for a number of years Counsel to the\nAgent of Germany, Mixed Claims Commission, United\nStates and Germany, in connection with which work I be-\ncame particularly familiar with American law, although\nI am not a member of the Bar in this country. I am an\nAmerican citizen.\n-2-\nwould Sir, have in international matters, I thought that you, you\nHaving in mind the great interest which\nprofession in Germany is highly interested to obtain\nwelcome information of the fact that the legal\nin detailed information as to the law and its development\nthis country.

Amer-\na number of favorable reviews and comments in leading\nLaw was welcomed in Germany, receiving\njuristic periodicals. It is furthermore proven by the\nway in which the book on American Jurisdiction was re-\nceived, which Professor K. N. Llewellyn of Columbia\nUniversity published recently in Germany and which\naroused there quite a little attention. This exchange\nof legal knowledge I believe is to be welcomed highly,\nas one of the means to advance international understand-\ning and good will in which you are so highly interested.\nI trust that I am not immodest when adding\nthat my book was very well reviewed in some of the lead-\ning law journals in this country.\nThe Southern California Law Review, January\n1934 issue, said e. g. :\n\"As an impartial commentary on American Probate\nLaw and a critical survey of the essential prin-\nciples and distinctions to be found in the vari-\nous States, it deserves a place among the lead-\ning reference treatises on the subject\nConsidered as a whole, the volume is decidedly\nunique among treatises on the American law of\nwills and administration. Even after allowances\nare made for obsolescence due to the ever-chan-\nging nature of the field, the book remains re-\nmarkably accurate in its presentation of a. pic-\nture of the fundamental distinctions underlying\nthe laws of the various States.
