35 Lisbon, the 3.2.4 Ministerui Lieber R o b e r ti : Eing.: 19.FEB.1944 First of all, although a lot of time has passed, my best greetings and happy wishes for the New Year, which hopefully brings us the victory. I was with my boys in Wiesbaden and afterwards also in Berlin; all my attempts to get rid of me for an Eastern Front command failed. My wish was to be used for a few months as a booty ass at the Waffen-SS. Maybe it will work again. During the holidays I also put my Deutschla stamps in order and glued them (this is my leisure activities) and found some missing protectorate stamps, which I find you occasionally according to Michel No. It's a few and small things that you can kindly procure for me Portugal-brands you'll find again, but this time without colonies. Today I'll send you again 3o Czech emigrants from Newyork; are you still interested in the delivery ? The order is still running; due to the good American-English defense / by strong control measures the procurement is very difficult, because the portug. and Spanish seamen have painted the pants full, after some of the guys in Trinidad were taken off board. Qui vivra, verra ! With the Rillerian telegram-Vers "all the best" I remain with comradely greetings Dein becie, PS.: Some time ago I had asked Nosek-Paris to send you some European-brands, because he does not collect, but possesses such. Certainly he did it in the meantime. St.M.TB- 59i/43
