I allow myself to convey to you the position of the Secretary of State that ify is not interested in maintaining the expenditures of the "time" from 3.10.1938 to the present day, it is more important to him, as he also mentioned in his letter of 3.7.1940 - sign of St. P. 418/40, to reduce the expenditure of "time". The Secretary of State has asked you to contact the archives and to determine whether he could not be loaned the desired expenses to loyal hands over a long period of time. I am grateful for the further cause and for a communication on the opinion of the Gauarchiv. Heil Hitler! Oberregierungsrat. 12. 2.) Wvl. am V.8.1940 bei dem Signatorie.
