We ask you to repeat our reference marks.

Your reference:Your message of:Our reference: Loe/A.Date: 7. 9. 37.

Your esteemed letter of 30. 8. has been handed to us for processing. We are gladly ready to carry out the necessary investigations, but would like to note that the test for amber is to date not a reliable indication of half-fossil amber. Nevertheless we consider it possible to give a sound judgement from the chemical examination and your findings. We therefore ask you to send us the material, if necessary with the cooperation of the local French Consulate, in order to avoid unnecessary customs difficulties.

Yours respectfully! Prussian Mining and Smelting Joint-Stock Company Branch Amber Works Königsberg i. Pr.
