TitleLetter from Wilhelm Feldberg to Mrs Schild
Date1940
DescriptionWritten at Cambridge
'Der Mrs Schild
It was good of you to let me know of the internment of your husband, It is a scandal and I am very sorry. I went at once to Miss Simpson from the Society of the Protection of Science and Learning. The Society is approaching Winton, Clark, Burgh Daly, Gaddum and Dale for references and will then lodge an appeal for the release of your husband. I hope it will be successful. The chances are not bad. In the meantime I should like to send him a few words to cheer him up, so if you can send me his escort adress I should be very glad. My two brothers in law are also interned. There is a lot of unnecessary hardship involved in this imbecile internment matter. I hope Heinz is not too depressed and can keep his spirits up. That I hope is also true for you and - I am certain - for the baby - We have no shelter but live in a residential suburb and hope the Germans realise that it would be too expensive for them to bomb these scattered houses.
What a world, Best wishes to you and the child and let us hope your husband will soon be released.
Kindest regards
Yours W Feldberg'
