Nr.: 888 Mr Steatsserrete Karl Hermann Fr a n k , Prague Dear Mr State Secretary! If I allow myself today to ask you for a debate, you may rest assured that it may be reasons that move me so deeply that I find no other way out. Since the seizure of power in the Protectorate, I have been waiting for the opportunity to speak with you once, but my business and my person always seemed too small to complain about such a request.Unfortunately, circumstances have occurred in recent times, which nevertheless make a debate appear urgent, and on the other hand, I expect my convocation to the Wehrmacht every day and I do not want to let the wartime go unexploited. Our common friend, my friend, Mr. Fritz Hoffmann, Elbogen, has indicated to me that there is the possibility of a personal 'ussprache'.I know that you are happy to assist in seeking advice and therefore hope that you will also provide me with a little bit of your precious time. I can assure you that my business is difficult to handle in writing and is ready for you at any time and anywhere.Heil Hitler!
