This is a letter from Aaron (Sometimes called Adolf) Eben to his grandson Hans Roth. Hans is my grandfather. The letter is from a personal collection.

A full translation would be nice but we are mostly interested in names and relations and any information on their movements during German occupation.

Hi Gable, Hans's grandfather only mentions one other person by name in this letter. The main points are summarized below. If you're still interested in a full translation and no other volunteer provides one, you're welcome to contact me and I'd be happy to prepare a transcription and translation for $35.
Regards,
Robert

Grandfather writing to Hansi
- Now that you've arrived you must be getting acquainted with your new surroundings.
- Contact Emil in B.A. if you need anything (but don't expect quick results).
- Don't worry about us. I'm healthy. I only hope I get to see you again.
