The remaining correspondence is from Pinthus to Alma Mahler, during her later years, when she was living in New York City. Also included are a sketch of Pinthus by Werfel (originally sent by Werfel to Kurt Wolff); and a typescript copy of 2 pieces about Werfel which appeared in the journal Die Aktion in 1916: an essay by Pinthus and a reminiscence by Otto Pick.
