Vp Marburg/ Lahn, I5 June 39 Kunstinstitut der Universität Dr.habil.Otto Kletzl 146 State Secretary Karl Hermann Fr a n k Prag Iv,Palais Czernin. With regard to research trips to Bohemia this summer, I recently addressed you with the request for a letter of recommendation.Today, however, I am informed by the rector of our university that the Herr Reichsprotektor approached the Reichs-Wis-schaftsminister with a request that the implementation of "society trips, study trips and teaching trips" into the Protectorate area should not be permitted until further notice. The question now is whether I am not, since this is an individual's research trip with specific special tasks, which is also well-versed in the country, but nevertheless could receive an exceptional permission through your kind mediation. Above all, the exceptionally popular interest in my research on the German cathedral building hut in Prague, which the German Academy now regards as one of its most urgent tasks, prompts me to ask you to consider approval as an exception.
