Description

Expressing his admiration for W. E. B. Du Bois's "history of Africa written by Africans" and seeking the author's address; empathizing with the letter-writer's feelings suffering and embitterment; anticipating that the "discrimination against Negroes will dwindle away" in the U.S.; wishing "the Negro people all good" from the German perspective; suggesting that his nation "did more good than harm to Africa"; and noting his long-standing antipathy towards the Jews, "because they want to rule the other nations and make themselves masters of other races," and that "This Argentine here is a fine land."
