To the 3rd Herr Reichsforstneister, BerlinW8, Leipziger Platz 11. For the establishment of an institute for the breeding of forest plants and for the exploration of bauerassen, I had agreed at a time to ate Tei le des sheaaligen Sanatoriums in Bed Houschtka near Brandeis. In the meantime, the Wehrmacht full-em- ployed at the German State anni- tary for Bohemia and Moravia and commander in Wehrkreis Böhmen and Moravia has approached me with the request to give him the Sanatorium in Bad Houschtke: for the establishment of a hospital. Since, according to a command of the Fuhrer, all rooms which were previously awarded medical treatment are free for hospital purposes and the exceptionally increased need for hospital beds can only be covered if each building suitable for the accommodation of wounded persons is used, I did not see any necessity to comply with the request of the authorized person and to assign the rooms to him in Bad Houschtka. In order not to let the Institute's work stop, I am prepared to make the hotel "Hubertus" in Hlawnetz near Brandeis available.
