Thomas Mann an Frederic Ungar

Dankt U. für die Übersendung von Will Schabers Buch ›Thinker versus Junker‹, und bittet ihn, dem Verfasser seinen Dank und Glückwünsche zu übermitteln. »The book is an excellent compilation of utterances by great and liberal Germans about their country, its inner faults and its problematical relationship to the world. At this moment, the book may have a very useful and enlightening effect, and it represents, in a way, a vindication of the Germans intellectual accomplishments.«
