9 Dr. med. Otto knahl Prag-Smichow, 27 Sept.l940 Mühlhof 2381 SS-Obersturmbannführer Oberregierungsrat Dr. G i e s s , Prag IV., Czerninpalais ObersturmbannführER ! About 4 weeks ago, Mr. Obersturmbannberat Dr.Plato proposed to me to accept the office of doctor at the Oberlandrat in Budweis. I have dealt with the reasons which led to my rather long inconsistency, of the frequent election of Dr. Plato, the Superior Councillor, as well as of you, and through your mediation, I have also been able to present them to Mr. Frank, Secretary of State, who has taken note of my kin walls and wishes and has come up with my own decision after careful consideration. Finally, the day before yesterday, I had to inform Dr. Plato that I cannot comply with his trusting proposal. Dr. Plato fully understands the reasons for my rejection, for which I am very grateful. I also turn to you, Obersturmbannführer, with the request that my decision be understood in the same way. - In the ramen of the German Health Chamber, I am given the opportunity to continue to use my political will for this German homeland. On the other hand, I can therefore complete my further practical training as a doctor, especially since, during the necessary time, the help of the Secretary of State 2 also took away my monetary concern.
