New York, N. Y.Dear Mrs. Adams:
I was very pleased to have your letter of May 26th with respect to Doctor Eckener's visit to the United States. I most assuredly do remember you and the very interesting experiences that you have had in the aeronautical world.
It is true that Doctor Eckener is in the United States. He is out at Akron with the Goodyear Aircraft Corporation and it is my understanding that he will be here for several months. I do not know just what his schedule for his activities will be, and thus it is rather difficult to say at this time how your idea of a dinner for him could be arranged. However, I shall probably see either Doctor Eckener or some of the Goodyear officials in the near future and I will pass your idea along to them.
I am sure you will be glad to know that Doctor Eckener is in very good condition, both mentally and physically, for a man of his age. It was indeed a pleasure to talk with him again and to see his continued enthusiasm for airships. Incidentally, I just had a letter from Captain Max Pruss and the surviving crew members of the Hindenburg. They had gotten together on May 6th, the tenth anniversary of the Hindenburg, and held a memorial ceremony in Frankfurt. Captain Pruss sent me a couple of photographs of the occasion. Although the plastic surgery for his very severe burns was successful, he is far from the fine looking man he was before the accident. Nevertheless he seems as cheerful as anyone can be under the circumstances.
With best wishes, I am
Very sincerely,
C. E. -Rosendahl
