Object record
The letter asks the Halberstadt archive to search surviving marriage registers for Abraham Jacob Reichenbach and Therese Frank, probably married around 1810, and cites file 944/35. Its written date, 4 February 1936, is after Paul’s documented death; the sender attribution therefore remains unresolved.
