After having had the opportunity to discuss the above-mentioned problem in detail with Gauleiter and Reichsstatthalter Eigruber during the course of this week, I may inform you, in reply to and completion of your letter of 5 June 1943, that I am, in appreciation of the in your letter - St.S.222/43 - of 28 June 1943. On May 1, 1943, it was announced that it would not be possible for German farmers to settle in the Protectorate at the present time. I should, however, like to ask you to continue to pay attention to this action, which is certainly desirable from a national political point of view, and then to reopen it to the greatest possible extent as soon as the necessary conditions are met.
