35 Stiftung Volk und Reich Responsibilities Protector Dr. Bernhard A d o l f Director General of the Association for Chemical and Metallurgical Production, Prague II, Stephansgasse 28 Prague, February 5, 1942 Dear party comrade Adolf ! I would like to send you the letter about your appointment to the closer committee of the board of trustees. In this way, the Foundation's work in Bohemia and Moravia will hold a solid framework. In the last two years, they have contributed a large part of the funds needed to expand the people and the work of the Reich. I have already given you my warm thanks on previous occasions, but I do not wish to fail to thank you again today for your efforts and commitment in the spirit of the matter. We have agreed at the time that a letter of thanks will be written to the donors of the year 1994l, as soon as the requests to which this very oath is to be addressed are available, I shall order that this letter of gratitude be sent. At the same time, the Board of Trustees will write a letter of confirmation to the donor concerned, so that, as you wish, a discharge will take place on your part in this direction.The budget of the year l942 provides, as in the past year, for a regular budget total of 280,000,--marks. This amount is to be raised in this year and henceforth by a small limited circle of donors, which you select and vote for. I ask you to give me the names of this circle as soon as possible n d In addition to this ordinary budget, the work also needs an extraordinary budget sum, which, as you already know, should amount to 500 000 000 marks.
