Description: Colonel Paul H. Weiland, New York City, to Eugene O. Traylor. Recently found Traylor's contact information in files for the 40th Field Artillery; has been asked to send Traylor a letter from someone in Ludwigsburg who may have worked with Traylor in Weiland's office; Weiland has been to Heidelberg on duty in late winter; in the spring [of 1946'] came to Dachau; will finish remainder of 30-month stint at Dachau trying war criminals; discusses of the Malmedy case, wherein all 73 defendants were convicted and 43 sentenced to death; the work is gruesome but necessary, and far from complete; soon all war criminals awaiting trial, except those in Austria, will come [to Dachau]; heard from Major Saxson that everyone at the 'CI' camps in Ludwigsburg would soon be transferred to Dachau except for '78 and 77 (women)'; thus, Dachau will become the primary location for all war criminals in Germany's American zone; comparison of weather at Dachau to weather in Ludwigsburg; discussion of hunting and trout fishing prospects in Dachau; hopes that Traylor is doing well in his 'new life.'.
