Translation	Oatley, May 4, 1942 Lansdowne Par. Mr. A.H. Hillier 33 Chertsey Merrylands. Dear Mr. Hillier! We learned from Mrs Lindner that you are looking for a couple. I was with my wife last year at Mr. Leo Gans in Wentworthville, then at Mr. Eltis and Mr. Lindner as stand-in (?); since then I have worked as a gardener. If you wish, we could introduce ourselves to you, in which case we ask for the answer to the letter in English that you send to us, so that we’ll receive the permit from the police based on the letter. With the best recommendation, George Wittney
