Could ER send a copy of WHAT MEN LIVE BY to Hans Erismann, Hirslanderstr. 18. Zurich 7? There are some possibilities and BM is making a lot of propaganda.

There are some possibilities and I am making a big propaganda. Now if it is possible I would like to have the copies of "marriage" and What men live by" for myself I will try here in Basel. Thank you.
