-- 18 -- Of course, Vg. Estelberger is not satisfied. He does not accept the contribution of RM 1 000.-. I had to transfer it to the court depot of the German District Court of Brno in order to maintain my legal position. He demands his RM 3.600.- according to the contract and other amounts that do not or do not fully pay him. He insists on his appearance, certified in a German notary's office and approved by the Oberlandrat Brünn. He is right about it, if he upholds his supposed rights, that I do not blame the Vg.

I don't need to be dependent on trustee fees, least of all in Bosowitz. Mr. Karg is otherwise not so generous with money. When I entered BOsKO, I found there an embarrassing thing. There were 8 diplomas for workers who were more than 25 to 46 years in the company. They were not spent because the wealth office refused to pay a total of RM 350 to trust bonuses to these 8 workers. I wrote my opinion to the wealth office on this matter, was therefore invited to Prague, got there
