which, in turn, are to transfer the shares to Melantrich A.G. and Prager Aktiengesellschaft für Papierindustrie A. G. (Prapiag). The Böhmisches Escompte-Bank is, as is well known, also the trustee of our majority share holding in Melantric A.g. and in Prapiag. The above-mentioned transfer of the shares takes place with the measure that Melantrich and Prapiag enter into the irrevocable obligation to 'return the shares to the Bohemian Escompte Bank at the cost price, if the latter - the internal head of the Reich for the press - makes such a request within the next 3 years. On request of Pg. Langhan, you will be able to inform about the double purpose pursued by this provision. The composition of the Supervisory Board of the Böhmisch-Kamnitzer Papierfabriken A.G. will take place in such a way that practically the full influence lies with us. In all respects - including the amount of the purchase price - agreement has been reached with the Wealth Office. The Wealt Office only requires that the consent given by you to Pg. Langhans, according to which instead of Europa Verlag G.m.b.H. the Böhmisches Escompte-Bank is a buyer, is also formally granted, and I hereby ask you - to grant this consent to the Wealth Office so that the parties can sign the present contract. I attach a blow to my appeal to the Vermögensamt next to this. On this occasion, I can inform you that Mr. Reichsleiter Amann intends to come to Prague soon for company visits and make a visit to you. I will allow myself to contact you in time for an appointment for a meeting. Heil Hitler! F Crie, Sras woL The Batater avid den icer verherig for the Frese Stabslelfer Labrne. + A 66222 1 Appendix
