BORMANN MARTIN: (1900-1945) German Chief of the Nazi Party Chancellery 1941-45 and Private Secretary of the Fuhrer of the German Reich 1943-45. An interesting T.L.S., Bormann, one page, 4to, Berlin, 2nd March 1940, to SS-Gruppenfuhrer Schaub, in German. Bormann informs his correspondent, in full, 'Miss Thea Henkel, previously a waitress at the Cafe Heck in Munich, was found a place, at her own request, with the district administrative authorities (the department for issue of permits). I have already informed the Fuhrer of this matter'.

Schaub was present in the Fuhrerbunker towards the end of World War II although was ordered to leave in April 1945 and destroy all of Hitler's personal belongings and papers. The fact that Bormann was writing to Schaub to let him know that Adolf Hitler had been made aware of the employment of a young lady from a cafe would, at first, seem somewhat trivial until it is appreciated that the Cafe Heck was in fact Hitler's favourite spot in Munich and the place where he would frequently meet friends and associates in the 1920s.

Braun lived there with her younger sister Gretl and the house was not far from Hitler's Prinzregentenplatz apartment. The Braun sisters used the property as their main residence when Hitler was at the front during World War II. The motor car in the photograph is most likely one made by the Maybach Motorenbau.

An extremely rare D.S., Ernst, one page, small oblong 12mo, Berlin, 5th October 1933, in German.

An interesting T.L.S., Bela Lugosi, one page, 4to, Christopher Street, New York, 4th May 1950, to Bertram W. H. Poole.

If you could afford to agree to that it would solve my problem' and also making an alternative suggestion, 'On the other hand I just spoke to a friend and country man of mine, a reputable stamp dealer and auctioner (sic) whom you know well, Mr. Ferryman…..who would be glad to put my collection on auction - using my name as bait'. Lugosi further writes 'In case you would favor the later proposition be so kind and get in touch with him stipulating your conditions and the legal way you would wish it should be handled and put in writing to assure your security'. Accompanied by the original envelope. Together with a carbon typed copy of Poole's reply to Lugosi, unsigned, one page, 4to, California, 9th May 1950, thanking the actor for his letter and stating, in part, 'I was beginning to wonder when I would hear from you again. If you can guarantee to send me $100 a week for the months of July and August that would be a satisfactory solution of the problem. As the end of the so-called stamp “season” is rapidly approaching it would hardly be possible to get quicker action by letting Ferryman sell the collection at auction. It takes considerable time to lot stamps for a sale, print the catalogues, distribute them some weeks in advance etc….' Also including a second, earlier T.L.S., Bela Lugosi, (a secretarial signature, most likely in the hand of Lugosi's fourth wife, Lillian Arch), one page, 4to, Hotel Woodrow, New York, 15th October 1949, also to Bertram W. H. Poole. Lugosi states that he has been travelling all over the country 'to make a meager (sic) living' and remarks 'The whole situation is very embarrassing to me and I never would have had the nerve to borrow the money if I thought it would turn out like this', explaining '…I am sure you know that the film industry was dead and I only made one picture in three years. Finally I had to go out and pick up odd jobs to cover overhead and take care of the most important matter my stamp collection', concluding 'I appreciate your generous offer to send you 200.00 at my earliest convenience, which I will do, and after that 100.00 or more a month. I cannot explain how deeply I appreciate your patience. Thank you, thank you'. Accompanied by the original envelope. An unusual group of letters relating to Lugosi's interest in philately and illustrating the well documented financial struggles the actor was experiencing at this stage of his career. VG, 3 Bertram William Henry Poole (1880-1957) English Philatelist who settled in America from around 1913. Poole wrote numerous handbooks on stamps and also founded and edited several magazines including Poole's Monthly Philatelist, Philatelic Opinion and The Philatelic Journal of Great Britain. He was one of the original signatories to Great Britain's Roll of Distinguished Philatelists in 1921. The website Mental Floss reports that Lugosi was a 'hardcore' stamp collector and also states that his fourth wife, Lillian Arch, estimated that her husband had amassed more than 150,000 stamps. The actor once declared that 'stamp collecting is a hobby which may cost you as much as 10% of your investment. You can always sell your stamps with not more than a 10% loss. Sometimes, you can even make money'.
