Eng.: 10 OKT. 1944 Sannnnr Dr. Ludwig E I C H H O L Z Head of Department To the Minister of State SS-Obergruppenführer Karl Hermann F R A N K in Prague XIX Yorkstrasse 11 Dear Minister of the State, Dear Party comrade Frank ! As Dr. Gieß, Minister General, I was sent to Prague last week by Dr. Frank, Minister-General of the Reich, to thank you very much on his behalf for housing and caring for our students from the General=government. Unfortunately, as a result of your son's sudden illness, you were unable to accept me. I regretted this very much, not only because I could not fulfil the mandate of the Governor General in this way, but also because I would have liked to have visited you personally again in memory of our shared time of struggle. I therefore ask you, very venerable Mr. Staatsmini= ster, to carry out my mission on this way. As chief commander Keßler told me here, all security measures have been taken by you, so that fears in this direction, which often occur here in parents' circles with regard to the events in Slovakia, are irrelevant. I can also thank you very much for this on behalf of the Governor General. With best regards and salvation Hitler ! boyang Ihr inthar St. M. XI J-60a/44
