189 189 JUDr. Josef Janda Prag,dne 25,May1940 Madam, in your letter dated 23rd May 1940, you asked me to inform you of my view of your ability to work as editor of Národni Politika in Prague. Tell you very gladly that he was very pleased with you even in the years when you were an external correspondent, also when you became a real 0 member of the editorial board of Národni politika. First there were various articles and papers in the section from all over the world. / Miscellaneous / which, in my opinion, you have well chosen and translated, especially from the German and English languages. Later I entrusted you with Kapitoly pro Ženy / Frauenrubrik / Kapitolen für Frauen /, which you not only edited and provided with pictures in the fashion section and with articles from the field of women's interests, but also regularly mentioned your own well-chosen and advantageously presented topicality. To my and the reader's satisfaction you later also led the kitchen section on Saturday and delivered daily contributions to the section from all over the world / miscellaneous/. Aigegeien During the whole time you were subordinated to the chief editor of the Národni Politika, you fulfilled your duties in a model manner, you always delivered the manuscripts and pictures on time and fulfilled my orders exactly, so that you never missed what I demanded of Iznen for the Nàrodnipolitika. I don't know for what purpose you need my approval, but I hope that these few lines will be sufficient for you. By the way, everyone who wants to convince himself of your reliable work for the Národni Politika for these years will be satisfied if he read through the women's category/women's capitoles/and in them your countless contributions. With full respect Dr. Janda Mrs Krista Stehliková / self-handed/ redaktorka Národni Politiky v Praze II. Václavské nám. číslo 15.
