English Translation

ba As I learn from the Consul General Prof. Dr. Gerlach, the curator of the German universities is also applying for this building, which, however, is to be awarded the building of the former Japanese embassy for the Oriental and Slavic Institute. Since the university administration has also secured some other buildings on the small side, I believe that in the case of the French embassy the interests of the city, which has never applied for larger objects, should be met. I would be very grateful to you, Mr Secretary of State, if you would like to give instructions to Mr Consul General Gerlach, to whom I have addressed a request on this matter, in our interest.
