A bs c h r i f t. 18 Rudolf Kropp Holzbildhauer, Lichtenstadt b. Karlovy Vary /Sdtg. LichtenCity, 6 July 1942. To Mr. Landforstmeister P f 1 a n z Prague. My best thanks for your two letters. After your first letter, in the week of Pentecost, I was with Dietl in Eger and Hanisch in Asch. There was nothing for both of them. Please excuse me for leaving you without an immediate reply. In the last few weeks I have been so busy with a life-size work in plaster. Dear Mr. Pflanz, for the time being it was enough for me to find an egg block for the ordered work of the Secretary of State K.H.Frank, the outside core at least l6-20 cm thick, 30 cm wide and at least 150 cm long. It is difficult to get just a matching half stem of first-class, dried wood. X Besides, I am looking for just a few trunks or half-trimms of first class oak and walnut, cherry and lime, dried out and outsourced and outside core over l5-20 cm thick. I would be very grateful to you for your commitment to the transfer as a railway station.*But we could also wait with that. Important! would only be when you could help me to get ever urgently necessary, first-class oak block. For all your efforts I would like to thank you very much. Heil Hitler! Ihr gez. Rudolf Kropp
