Thank you very much for your dear letter of 24. v.lts., which I was very pleased about. In the next "agen" you will receive the certificate from the Rector of the Charles University Prague, which officially certifies you the award of the dignity of an honorary citizen of the German Charles University in Prague. You will then have to do nothing more than send a simple letter of thanks to the Rectorate of the Deutsche Charles University after receiving this decree. It is therefore not necessary to send a thank-you address in the form nock you have suggested. If you are personally interested in writing a compilation of all your honorable telegrams and letters of good fortune for your 85th anniversary. I am, of course, ready to make them here and then send them to you. I therefore ask you, dear Mr Hofmann, to send me a brief report. I myself am not governor ia protectorate, but State Secretary at the Reichsprotektor in Bohemia and Moravia.
