Dear comrade Gies ! On your letter St.S.IV O -34a/4l v. 9.lo.l94l aptly awarded the Eichendorff-Prize, I inform you that I try to reach in the interest of the candidate a unanimous proposal of the board of trustees at the award ceremony to Professor Hönich.This is also technically not quite easy with the abundance of the involved and interested bodies; however, I hope that soon the outstanding approval of the Gauleiter will also be received, so that the price distribution to Hönrich can be made programmatically in the first half of the winter semester. I ask you to inform the Secretary of State Group leader K.H. Frank in this sense and will inform you as soon as possible further. Heil Hitler ! Ihr Jouua W.vorl. 9.11me ervorfrigl.
