The best proof of my opinion is that the Czechs apparently translated your Hus novel into the Czech soon after it appeared. They would never have had any interest in it if the German political position had been respected. To my greatest regret, it has not been possible for me to feel Czech forces who had a particular interest in translating the book.

You can imagine that we are more interested in such Czech efforts than ever, even if they were over the years. To my regret, your official reply has not yet become known to me. Of course, I am not defaming it in any way, since I had to object to a book that in the holdings of German libraries and Czech people is of the strongest political impact against Germanism and against the Reich. For this reason, I would be very pleased to continue my search for the announced relations. You could do me a great favour by pointing out the Czech interested parties. 186 Heil Hitler ! gez.
