Letter from Felix Kraemer to William Loeb
Felix Kraemer has enclosed a letter of introduction from the Vienna Male Chorus Society, who will be performing at the White House on May 6. He requests that all the singers and their families could bypass quarantine restrictions since their transport from Hamburg, the Oceana, was personally chartered by the society and no one else travelled with them. Kraemer hopes William Loeb will “drop him a line” about when he can receive him.
