7. 8. CthENd3 Dear comrade Gies ! Thank you very much for your and your venerable wife congratulations on the occasion of our wedding, also on behalf of my wife. You know in-between from my letter from Travemünde how it came that we could not make use of your offer concerning Prague and you also had to miss at our wedding. On our return here I also found your letter våm 7.7, in which you wrote to me that a pre-delay of the wedding is possible at any time. He must have arrived here immediately after my departure to Hamburg and has not been sent to me. The letters you have received to my FPNr. 34700 were sent into the field, apparently lost, if not after my return another one who needed a particularly long time. I spoke with your first wife today on the phone. She is well with the children, but in the last time she did nothing in the matter of the house, because the district council office of Trier, with which the building plan for time is also located, did not move despite several memories. I presented her with the Wittlich plan, with which she also agreed - your daughter as well as later the boy can attend the local high school. I then spoke with my district office director Enck, my most capable and reliable employee, who, at my suggestion, has also been running the SD office for several years. It is particularly happy that Enck has also known since some of the activities of the mayor of Wittlich instead of the Iheen, Dr. Hürter leads I launched this at the time via Siekmeier so, because I want to make Enck later mayor of the very viable, but much neglected city. Enck explained to me that he could make suitable possibilities available from the city, i.e. So open area, where electricity and water already lie, either in connection with the area intended for the shelters or elsewhere. I will ask your first wife to come over here in the near future and choose the place together with Enck. Then the dispatch of the house can be started. Your wife told me that the arrangement would be carried out by co-sponsors? The foundation can be built here. I think it would be useful if you direct the correspondence with Enck (district office director Enck, Wittlich/Mosel (22), Landratsamt, telephone 454). He will help in every way, also e.g. I have already given him your address. My holiday days are now also coming to an end, the day after tomorrow I have to go to deń Rückmarsck. I assume that I will find my division before Jassy, because until now it has been quiet. Unfortunately, I am bound by holiday trains and can therefore not choose the detour via Prague, which I would otherwise have liked to have done.
