This letter is from a former friend of Philip Manes and his wife, addressed to Eva Manes and written in 1957. It is a long rambling letter in Suetterlin script from the lady who bought Manes' grand piano for RM 1000. She lived in the same house as Philip Manes and his wife and was obviously a great friend who adored both. She writes about arrangements for payment for the piano, about Manes' problems, and also describes her own rather unhappy fate during the last years of the war and after. Most importantly, in connection with the Manes' life story, she describes the last days before their deportation in very moving terms.
