26a The State Secretary had the content of his letter to Minister Hruby to the State Secretary on the matter of southern Bohemia. In his last speech, the Secretary of State ordered the Minister Hruby to reprimand him for his agitatory speeches and activities, and for the last time he urged him not to do so.
