Correspondence, Jutta Schütt to Nicholas Emerson Dante Russo, 1935 June

 File — Box: 3, Folder: 31
Identifier: MSE/MD 3826-31

Scope and Contents

Schütt goes to see a Nazi propaganda play with the chief of her office. She wishes Russo could have seen it in order to understand "a little bit more of what the whole movement is about." The Potsdam court does not rule in her favor regarding the line of inheritance. She also faces legal obstacles to becoming the legal guardian (Vormund) of her son because Russo has not declared to the German Consulate that he is the father. Russo apparently keeps both of his children a secret from his parents. Schütt expresses anxiety about the government opening her letters. She discusses enclosing the patent application. A letter in German from the German state legal guardian of Schütt's child requests that "Mr. Architect Dante Emmery Reusso-Emerson" declares his fatherhood of Ulrich Schütt to the German Consulate. Schütt tells Russo that, in order for her to have custody of her son, they need to either get married or entirely break off their relationship. Included is the patent application applied for in Germany for a "closefitting box with a cover, which thru side pressure against the vertical border of the cover is easily opened." The patent application is typed in both English and German. It was agreed that Russo would receive "full powers of atorney [sic]." Three of the photographs show Jutta Schütt holding her infant son in her arms, about 3 months old. The other attached photograph has an "x" labeled over Schütt's chief from her office.
