Erich Matthes . Hartenstein im Erzgebirge . Rut 257 Herr Oberregierungsrat Gisel Personal speaker of the State Secretary at the Reich Protector in Bohemia and Moravia Vryang! Prague 14.40. April 3, 1940 ligefi M/M Dear Herr Obergovernungsrat! I received your lines from March 3rd last week. The drawings were not included, but the business card was not included. I reply directly to group leader Hildebrandt. Please send the enclosed letter to the Secretary of State. I will shortly be sent to Mr. Ing. Zankl because of the German local names in the Sudetengau. It would be very embarrassing for me if a Czechized name would remain. I would like to thank you very much for your kind efforts with regard to the archives. I hope that the Czech Ministry does not take too much time to get these things out. St. S. D Heil Hitler! Your devoted Brich Maulen.
