23 transcript! Prague, 14.8.1943. Hauptpostfach 202. Dear Ministerialrat! Hildebrandt just writes to me and asks if my affairs represented by you are in order. Unfortunately I have to answer him negatively. 4 weeks Duplicate the 7 - 8 months old bill demands, because it had allegedly been lost - probably also the duplicates, which I sent since every 2 months - but still not paid today, despite two reminders. Also from an authorization certificate, which equates me to the Czechs in the purchase of goods in the Gestapo warehouse, I have not heard anything yet. If I, as a Ceschäftsmann, were to carry out my business as the central agent, I would have long since been declared bankrupt or incapable of doing business.*e By the way, I hear from my lawyer that other businessmen who are in business with the central office are not better off than I am. A German office should insist on avoiding such a reputation, and the superior authority should take the initiative to look for the right. I beg your pardon for bothering you so often, but I hope you will understand my plight. My business goes into lack of goods and, if no external standings do not enter, I cannot fulfill my liabilities, especially to the tax office, and must ensure execution. With best thanks in advance for your frdl. efforts and with salvation Hitler! I am your devoted gez.Albert Benz.
