Sir,
In view of the inimical relations now obtaining between the two societies to; which we belong — in view of your direct attacks upon the refugee committee here, [292] at any rate upon my friends and colleagues in the same — we must break off social relations if we are not mutually to expose ourselves to equivocal interpretations. Yesterday evening I thought it unseemly, in the presence of my wife, to express my views on this collision.
While expressing my utmost obligation to you for your medical assistance, I would beg you to send me your account.
Yours truly
Dr K. Marx
