Mr. Secretary of State Dr. von B o t h I 1o -V 3-1-287. Mr. Counsellor Dr. G i e s Betr.: 2 paintings by S p i t z w e g . As the architect B e n z just informed on telephone request, the owner of the pictures did not show up again despite two requests. B e e nz now assumes that these are forgeries.

The result is reported immediately. e.g. Both. Immediately Kripo report to me ! F 20/10. F 20/10/.
