Polska 9 Hotel Ametyst 86 1S W Mr I US .0a =.d.d Government Councillor Dr.Gies at the Herr Reichsprotector 18/1.40. for Bohemia and Moravia inPrag. etd Dear Dr. Gies. With a polite reference to the private conversation with Jhen, which took place about 2 weeks ago, with regard to our two dear good friends Gustel (August Meier from Troppau), I come to Jhenn today on this way to get Jhre help ev.in claim. I would have liked to have visited you personally, but I am currently not able to do this, since I have to do my duties in Kolin. As an official of the head of the administration of the district administration of Nassau bin, the district councillor Bernotat was appointed to this office.The commanding was always carried out in stages.As my friend Bernotath informed me, the administration in Wiesbaden was merged with that in Kassel to form a provincial association on a higher order.On my last vacation I had worked with him. and we had come to an agreement that I could still be placed on leave for half a year or a year.As my work at the Land Office is about to be completed (we should explain that we should never return to our home country or be taken over here) I would like to have one wish for the duration of a year in the protection agency. Up to that point, the remaining merging of the above mentioned administrations is finished and you can see clearly. By merging the administrations, officials and ange- ings are released and made available for further use in Poland.After being here for half a year now, I would like to stay here for the specified time. Similarly, for the purpose of my special secretary, Fr.Hafner, who is still working at the district office in Brno.We have promised her that we will use her for her, so I would like to do so.That is why we would be very pleased if we could perhaps be called to Jhrer's office for the duration of one year with effect from January 5th.
