27 18 January 1940. St.8. 55/40. To the Gauleiter and Reichsstatthalter in the Sudetengau, Mr. Konrad H e n l e i n, Reichenberg, Reichsstathalterei, Dear Konrad! I was surprised by your letter of 4.1.194o. I had gone away with comrade Kreisl, that he should provide me with an elaboration in the relevant capacity. This preparation would make me the subject of a consultation in the office of the Reichsprotector, from which it follows that neither a decision has been taken nor that there is a risk that a decision would be taken by the abbey economy in the Office of the Imperial Protector without my participation. Unfortunately, I have not yet been in possession of the elaboration. I would be grateful if you would arrange that comrade Kreisl now directs the elaboration to me. Heil Hitler! Your 2nd Wv. on 1.7.194o with me.
