English Translation

15 Now I learn that the Minister of Justice of the Reich, on the basis of these considerations and expert opinions, has granted the requested grace to the condemned on the grounds of the right of grace conferred upon him by the Führer. The reference number of the Ministry of Justice is 111 G 2o/ 10658/41 Therefore, I must assume that the circumstances mentioned in the application for grace submitted by the individual bodies are correct and according to the facts, and that the places surveyed have expressed themselves in favour of a show of grace and the grace of the condemned. As defender of the cause, I now also ask you to lift the decreed state police measures/probably in the grace path/.
