English Translation

13 September 1939. St.S. 1o2/39. To Prime Minister Ing. E 1 i á š P_r_a_g_. Dear Prime Minister! At the time nine panel paintings from the monastery of Hohenfurth were brought to Prague for the purpose of their restoration. The pictures are to be exhibited in a hall of the Prague State Assembly at the moment. Since it is a cultural property to which the protectorate government cannot claim, and I attach great importance to the fact that the images return to their original location, I ask that they immediately enter into a review of the matter and inform me of the result immediately. Here I attach importance to the determination of where the pictures are located, who restored them and from which place they can be transported. With the expression of my excellent high regard 3.) Wvl. at l.lo.1939 with me.
