I had once allowed myself to report to you and to propose that the people's German returnees from the beech land come to a considerable extent from the Bohemian Forest, have received the customs,briefs and dialects of their ancestral home and would at best be eligible for a settlement in the parts of the Protectorate adjacent to the Bavarian Ostmark. In the meantime, I have researched, visited and prepared detailed lists of names with the findings of the repatriation camps of these Buchenland Germans, which are available if they are of interest to you. Within the scope of the NSDAP circle, I will be making an attempt in Aussig, perhaps novel, to establish a genuine, individual community formation between the return hikers from the Bohemian Forest from the Buchenland,us. Sudeten Germans (using those former 42ers who fought l96/17 in the Buchenland and shot at those settlements) and Bohemians to root the repatriates with us. I therefore allow myself to politely invite you and your staff to these two events, which offer the opportunity to gain a personal impression. The Buchenland Germans, the former 42s, the Bohemians, who come to Aussig and we would all be very pleased if you could give us the honour of your visit with your wife. With comradely greetings and healers, Ych will always leave you Al/ce Ceee Mfm St.S.xC-28/4
