For my information, Director Návensik emphasizes that the current owner Karl Parish is 38 years old, has two sons who both study at the Czech Gymnasium in Adlerkosteletz. After considerable difficulties, he removed the German economic and forestry officials and introduced purely Czech official management. With regard to the extension of the large land, after the seizure about 40oo ha of forest was left, some of which are located directly on the border and about 250 ha of arable land.

He asks, if there should be an audience, whether this could not be before the end of September, because he will later travel to Romania for 10 days. gez. Šámal. 2.)Note : Copy.
