COP February 11, 1937 Honorable Douglas Jenkins United States Consul General American Consul Berlin, Germany Dear Mr. Jenkins: I am very much interested in the application of Heinz Finkelstein, W. 35 Blumenhof 15, Berlin, Germany, for a visa to come to the United States. The applicant is a boy about 15 years of age. He has relatives in this country who are anxious to bring him here, and they are well able to care for him and guarantee that he will not become a public charge. I am acquainted with Mr. H. J. Galamba, a cousin of the applicant. Mr. Galamba is a member of the firm of Sonken- Galamba Corporation, and is an outstanding citizen of Kansas City. He is willing to sponsor Heinz Finkelstein, and I am sure that he will live up to his guarantee. I will appreciate anything you may be able to do to expedite this case. Sincerely yours, DEPARTMENT Harry S. Truman MAY U.S. any HST/cb
