She urges the photographer to finally remove the photographs she took in 1935 and which were displayed in a showcase on Barerstrasse. Lisl Seuss has already been asked to do so (tr.) "repeatedly by my mother," as the permission granted at the time was only (tr.) "for a period of three months." (Tr.) "I am now giving you one last opportunity to remove the pictures within three days. Should you again fail to comply with this demand, I will have to hand the case over to the criminal police. Heil Hitler! Eva Braun." On the reverse side and along the bottom edge of the front is Liesl Seuss's detailed draft reply, written in pencil, dated April 14, 1938, in which she, among other things, denies that a time limit for the permission was ever granted. Handwritten signature "Elisabeth Seuss." Included is the envelope marked "Registered Mail" in red copying pencil, with postmarks dated April 13, 1938.Provenance: Aus dem Nachlass der Münchner Portraitfotografin Elisabeth "Lisl" Seuss.
