Gies Prag IV Czerninpalais Dear Mr. Chief of Government! We ask above all to apologize very much for the fact that we again concern you in the same matter. According to the information provided to us at the passport office of the Oberlandrat, however, a new confirmation or endorsement is required for each individual foreign inspection report. We therefore regrettably urge you, Mr Oberregierungsrat, to ask the Commissioner of this letter again to support the granting of an exit visa to Mr. Director Edgar Gottwald to Slovakia. Perhaps, in order to not have to bother you again and again with these things for the future, Mr. Oberregierungs=rat, a regulation could be made, on the basis of which the passport=post of the Oberlandrat could renounce the every submission of a confirmation= or endorsement letter. With repeated thanks for your efforts Heil Hitler! Volk und Reich _Verlag G.m. B.H. 71 erpebe piclty.
