Dear Sir,

I am writing to you on behalf of my two nieces Beate Stern and Suse Stern who are staying living with their Uncle Mr. Siegfried Stern, 93 Bethesne Rd, London N16.

These little orphans were found in France and were permitted temporarily to stay in England. Affidavits have been sent to the Refugee Committee Bloomsbury House, Bloomsbury Street London WI in June 1945.

Now the children continually asking for money & cloth. Their uncle does not support them and the school bill has not been paid. Furthermore family affair makes it quite impossible for the children to stay there any longer. This is a terrible situation in which the children can’t live any longer they have since they have already suffered so terrible [deleted].

Dear Sir, I would appreciate very much if you would kindly grant visas for the little as soon as possible, in order that I can may give them a proper home.
