7 At the end of the interview with the editor of H e r z i g and with the head of the Committee of National Coherence, he invited me to pay the bill and hand over to Mr Herzig with a ready CV and photo. I gave the envelope to the editor H e r z i - gov opened before. all four at the table sitting with me and persons,This fact clearly shows that there was no dishonest intention, so that it became an embarrassing mistake caused only by my indisposition and nervousness on this day. After leaving the editor H e r z i g a, we all stood up at the table and wanted to leave. In that moment - a waiter brought a taped letter with a note that he belonged to Mr.Hru - bem, without mentioning the letter from whom it was," and the letter was written the name of the head of the Committee of the National Companion.The letter was taken over by the Head of the Board of National Contestency and, as he later told me, he thought it was some ordinary letter, which he received in many and in places where he was hanging and handed it down without being opened to the Secretary of the Žejdl to deal with it, which I at the same time left with him in Dresden on that day. I could not think for myself, ğe is the same envelope that I threw to the editor erzig, only in the belief that I had given up my life-writing and my fatography. After my arrival home, I threw a hasty envelope which I was convinced contained the money at home into the table and quickly shaved, changed and prepared things for the trip to Dresden. Only after my return did I read an article published in Der neue Tag magazine and discovered my embarrassing mistake.
