The question now arose whether he would be able to stay there, also on the basis of the recent invitation of the Chief Financial Officer, to vacate his apartment in Prague or whether he might stay there. 2)in the Protectorate,which could carry out important research in the field of care of the Terandter Hochschule,and because 3)the university according to the plans of the Reichsminister für Wissenschaft,Erziehung und Volksbildung(Rwev)and the Reichsforstmeisters was to be transferred to the University of Prague at Frie- schluss, which would require a new move for F.'s family. G.explains that the provision of housing in Prague is now urgent and that F.'s move is to be carried out as soon as possible.F.requests,for the infant (b.1.3.44)and the desire to obtain a suitable dwelling at least in the vicinity of Tarandt,to allow him some time with the selection -the search will start immediately-and asks,if there is hope of a return soon when the college is transferred to Prague.G.allows for a certain transitional period and sets aside suitable apartments for the forest oratories, so also for me,a free,because this is much easier at the end of the war than now;he is also prepared to confirm this by Hi co-implementation of a transcript I intended.

F.explains that a housing project like the one that is now available in Saxony would mean a war shelter, but that it would not be possible to re-establish a family after a break-up of 3b years since 1940.
