Deneh B Je, e I have not been able to get back in touch with you for a long time with the war-economic exploitation of the people's German economy in an old intensity. It is also not the time to make visits or to write letters about change. I hope, however, that your old faithful understanding and interest in the affairs of the people of Germany, when I address you today with a special request, will not overlook the fact that from this point of view I cannot overlook whether you want to deal with this matter at all, I would kindly ask you to look and, if necessary, just give me your personal opinion. This is the handing over of a bank building a which needs to have an inseparable location in the Romanian capital. Unfortunately, despite the reorganization and concentration of the national German banks, which could be at the head of the Romanian individual loans today (which for optical reasons are not particularly pointed out soli), it has not yet been possible to find a suitable bank house. As the only building in question in the financial district of Bucharest, the volume of the loan bank was determined.The relevant departments gave all their consent to the purchase of this bank building here in Reichsmark and at the same time to a strengthening of the available funds in a silent manner. Now this handover of the sales negotiations between the Prague Kreditbank and the Dresdner Benk has been delayed and I have now been informed that this question would be resolved in the Protectorate. I would like to add a record of the latest developments in this field and to ask for your kind opinion or support. Heil Hitl er! Your NM-2543 ndoge:1 T
