Description

The file contains: Three postcards (Prag, 5.IX.21, 7.VIII.3720.IX.38) and ten letters to Elsa Brod. One with the letterhead of Grete Reiner is dated 8.2.28, two others are dated 21.8.38 and 17.X.1938. The others are undated and two of these with the letterhead of Grete Reiner in her villa in Prag which was built after 1927. The correspondence deals with the situation of both women, the letters datable to 1938 contain apologies that Grete Reiner could not offer the Brods a place to stay because her dwelling was already overcrowded. Another letter is a rebuke of Elsa Brod who was alleged to have told certain people that Grete Reiner's husband didn't deserve to be a writer. Mentioned are Pick, Oplatka and Trude Urzidil, also Reiner's first husband Oskar Straschnow, who was cheating on her. From this context the letter can be dated before their divorce in 1924.
