DescriptionLetter from Oskar Speck to his friend Elli handwritten in German over five pages, text on one side only, except for the last page. Dated 14.06.36, the letter is to congratulate Elli on her wedding, and talks of what his trip has been like recently, mentions the monsoons and the abundance of fruit, and suggests Elli and her new husband fly and join him, although he realises this will probably never happen.
