Beschreibung

4to. 1 page. To a Mr McNitt, with a few corrections in Mann's hand. Mann clarifies two remarks from a recent interview with McNitt: "I would rather not mention the treaty of Versailles to which the American people is anyhow inclined to attach exagerated [sic] importance, but I only wanted to express that the German people is afraid of being "annihilated" in the case of defeat and that it should be told that nobody on earth is thinking of doing so. The annihilation of other nations is a nazi concept which is absolutely repulsive for the democracies. Another trifle are the 'twenty rooms' in our new home. This number gives an exagerated idea of the modest house we are building, and I would appreciate it if you omit this detail. It was a pleasure for Mrs. Mann and me to meet you." - Provenance: Sotheby's New York, June 26, 2000, lot 222. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 60450
