November 25, 1950

Mr. Walter Hinrichsen
President
C.F. Peters Corporation
881 Seventh Ave.
New York City, N.Y.

Dear Mr. Hinrichsen:
I have been informed that you are called the "ariseur" of Universal-Edition, which probably means that you handed it over to the Nazis or bought it for them.
I am astonished about this, because what you told me is contradictory to that. I would like to know the real truth: where have you been during the Nazi regime? Was your father a Jew, a half-Jew or an Aryan?
You understand that I must be clear about this.
Best greetings,
Yours,
