24 Erich Matthes . Hartenstein im Erzgebirge . Rut 257 Mr Karl Hermann Frank State Secretary at the Reichsprotektor in Bohemia and Moravia Prague 3 March 1940 M/M ;bokeen 1 9/4.40. Dear Karl Frank! In the last letter to me (13 March) of the Lord's Council of Governors Gisel there was a visiting card of group leader Hildebrandt for Thost. I answer them directly, because I cannot pass them on to Willy Thost, because he shot himself two years ago. He was mohatelang at the Rudolf Heß hospital in Dresden, but it was no longer possible to help him. There is no more salvation for blood destruction. He has been buried in Chemnitz in the hideous marble splendor of the Thost's inheritance burial. It is a miracle that the family has fulfilled its wish for cremation. There is not much new to report about us. Peter is now sea officer, who knows where he is now swimming around, and the wave will make wedding in June. I assume that you and yours are well and greet Hitler in old faithfulness with salvation! Brieh M. F4
