Letter from Professor Simon to Dr F Demuth 'Thanks for you letter of the 18th. I have little contact with the astronomers and if Freunflich can't help Dr. Socher, it is very improbable that I'll be in a position to do so. Apart from this, however, I must say I am a bit suspicious about a man who did not want to be released from internment - or only under conditions. It looks so as if he was not interested in assisting the war effort. I am going to drop you a line before my next visit to London. ' 19/06/1945
