this year and the foreign Office again
replied with a firm denial

though the embassy officials pointed out
the danger he incurred in returning to
Florsheim and his liability to arrest, he
and his wife went there upon the receipt
of a letter from the mayor OF the town.
an old-time friend, who said there would
be no danger.
