T EL T HET H 28 19.4.39. Mr. Secretary of State K.H.Frank Prag Reich Protector Dear Karl Hermann F"ank, today, when viewing old cabinets, I also find the l923 published Exlibris portfolio, which includes, among other things, the exlibris created for you: the eagle forged on the tree. It is a beautiful and happy coincidence that this symbol has been overtaken and overcome by the recent past. So our struggle at that time has not been unspeakable! Let me also send my congratulations today for your appointment to the Secretary of State. My thoughts go from here-as from the western border-to you Deut. in Prague. And if I add the old exlibris with the "fessed eagle" of these congratulations, so in memory of geneinsan lived combat times. In Hartenstein I was not too long damds, followed by 7 years Thuringia, then 9 years Cologne, where I still live, have family with 3 magnificent boys and can work. In old connectedness Heil Hitler!
