Dear Ms Brenner,

Else Mechner was my aunt. I would certainly be interested in the "long
story" how you found her biography, as well as in the biography itself.
My sister Johanna Cooper and I have some of her paintings, which my
father found in Paris and had shipped to New York in the 1970s. My
father had great admiration for Else.
