Hofmannsthal was an attorney based at this time in Queens, N.Y., and was apparently representing Alma Mahler. Weisl was an attorney based in Vienna, to whom Alma had given authority (Vollmacht) to review the status of her case in the Austrian courts. Attorneys whom Alma had previously consulted in the matter of her postwar claims for restitution of property include Otto Hein, Hans Guertler, and Friedrich Weissenstein.
