English Translation

XV/Vt. Note. Subject: Devise under Roland symbol. I refer to the order received today at noon and propose: "The truth does not seek angle ". This is an old legal word, contained in a statute of the Old Town Prague from the 1st century, printed by Rössler: "Das alte Prager Stadtrecht", Prague l845, page 86. to the symbol of Roland, also symbolizes the political position of the German people and state system in this country since the Middle Ages and is an experience= sentence also in the German administration of the country Bohemia. Moreover, he seems to me to give something essential from the personality of the Secretary of State and to be a successful correction to "The truth wins" of a Masaryk. There is of course more material available, but the form according to nothing, waş as a motto would be to lift out. I am still trying to translate an appropriate motto from Tacitus Germania, which refers to the pltu circumstance that the Markomanns owe Behaims their ability to do so: Sedes virtute parta" (literally for example: home which is first-placed and also to be preserved by skill!) Rie 8. Jaudl. Prag, on December 9, 1939. EEA
