NOV. 1942 Bohemia and Moravia. Dear Ministerial Councilman! Returned from a business trip yesterday, I found your letter ( St.S.XI. A - 26 d/42 ) of the 7.d.M., in which you give me permission for a personal audition. For this commitment I ask you above all to accept my sincere thanks. Mr. Ministerialrat, according to my letter of 3.9.d.d, however, I gave the insurance, only then to call, as soon as a final result of my request has been received. Unfortunately, as a result of misunderstandings and other circumstances, in the meantime, obstacles which did not yield to the expected success have been opposed to my efforts. However, since I am keen to reach a satisfactory solution to my concerns as soon as possible, I ask you to allow me to have a debate in spite of the changed condition. For I am firmly convinced that through your kind mediation and support I will receive the active support which will certainly ensure a favourable decision and execution to my objective. If you intend to come to Prague soon, I would be right to receive your willingness= explanation to the requested address before my departure. Heil Hitler ! amp St..xA-26/42
