2/ St.M. XII H - 117/43. Prague, 22 November 1943. N 1943 1.) Law Firm places on special sheet: 22. i-Sturmbannführer Wolf. I commission you with the preliminary work for the publication of a Czech illustrated joke sheet and seek to start the work immediately. I would like to personally inform you of some thoughts on the design of the joke sheet. As the name of the magazine, I propose: "pepiček". A well-paid Czech principal author should be found, who first gathers a circle of permanent collaborators (drawers and verse makers). Visual and text material should be guaranteed for the first two to three nuumers. If these first numbers are used, it must be assumed with certainty that the population will be continuously co-workers, especially if in each number the population is asked to send jokes and drawings. In order to preserve the anonymity of the sender, a cipher can be agreed for the payment of the fees. The magazine appears irregularly as required, but at least every other month once. In each episode of the magazine a dialogue between "Pepiček and Franta" is to be brought.
