Kreuzherrengasse 2nd Director: Prof. Dr.Zotz Tgb.No. 221/41 To Herr Oberregierungsrat G i e s Prag IV, Czerninpalast Dear Mr Oberregovernungsrat! Having tried to reach you by telephone on several occasions yesterday and today in vain, in order to make a personal appeal to you again today, I now turn to you in writing. Unfortunately, I am not able to come to you tomorrow because of urgent examination work, and on Monday I will go with my seminar on a 1-week teaching trip to Moravia. I will try to call you again after my return. On the subject discussed, I suggest that during the spring or summer for "Bohemians and Moravians" I give you an essay "On the state of Germanic research in the Sudeten-Karpa- tenländer". I would be willing to leave you a very impressive settlement map for this. In this essay one could then, in the sense that you suggested it, take a position against Lerch, or may also completely overlook him. With best regards 8 Heil Hitler ! / your deo berom bottedraheetotin $X\H-8 gez. Zotz. gor rfatcgen lmdorisaahoe \ lhir sauk prrick togelagd. 4n9 24/3.41.
