Herrengasse 12 La/W Fernruf 24141-48 An der Reichsprotector in Böhsen und Mähren zu Hd.v. Herrn Oberregierungsrat Dr.Gies Prag IV. Czernin-Palais. Mnk: bredig 23.α.d /8/12.40. Dear comrade of the party Gies ! With reference to the commitment given to me by Secretary of State Frank for the special allocation of 8oo 1 petrol for newspaper transports to Pilsen and Turnau and our repeated discussions on this matter, I will inform you in the annex of the written notice of the Oberland Council of 8.ds. The Oberlandrat demands at the same time the return of the allegedly too much followed reference tickets for 785 litres of petrol. I ask the Oberland Council or the authorised representative for the local transport once again to give the order for the allocation of the amount of fuel that is vital to us of a total of 2,600 1, respectively. I would point out once again that the "yolksdeutsche Zeitung", Brno, and even the Czech newspaper "Lidove Noviny," Brno, are expedienting their newspapers by car from Brno to Pilsen. Even for economic reasons, I would like to give up the transport of goods by means of motor vehicles, if we were not forced to do so by the significant delays in delivery due to the train restrictions. Hay Heil Hitler !
