Dear party comrade Frank! The Führer has entrusted me with the responsibility for the jurisdiction of the People's Court, the highest political court of the Great German Reich, and I am entrusted with a task which the current Minister of Justice, Pg. Thierack, has fulfilled for years. Under his leadership, the Volksgerichtshof has developed into an important guarantor of the inner firmness and external security of the Great German Empire. I will strive to maintain and further expand this character of the Volksgeriohtshof through its leadership and comprehensive judicial work as a legally qualified National Socialist. The People's Court is an example of national socialist court structure already by its composition. Its full-time and voluntary members form an insoluble work unit. The most important thing that everyone brings to accomplish their task is their clarified and conscious, in the life of proven national socialism. This community will guard as a jewel. I ask you, as all the honorary judges of the People's Court, to give me in this work your full cooperation as well as the previous president. With B4-1242
