Mr. Howe

Bodley Head

London

Dear Mr. Howe,

this is to introduce my friend Kurt Hiller, one of the eminent and critical brains we had in Germany.

Mr. Hiller will tell you about his plans. He would like to publish in England a selection volume chosen from his last three volumes of essays.

I could imagine that the English reader presumably will enjoy this independent author, this deeply spiritual thinker, this uncompromising man, in search of the truth and nothing but the truth, wanting to realize it actively.

Yours sincerely

Ernst Toller.
