Office of the Secretary of State ben Feichepratektor in Bohemia. Eing.: - 9.JAN.1942 Dear comrade Heiss! I thank you and your wife for your wishes for the Julfest and the year 1942. I am pleased that our cooperation has been so favourable and I hope strongly that it will become even closer in the future. I have noticed again and again in recent times that events will be handed over to me by the State Secretary for an opinion, which could have been discussed with me or -Sturmbannführer Wolf. In particular, I would like to ask you to first connect with the SD-lead section of Prague in connection with the involvement of persons or even with the designation of persons, so that everything is avoided, which could only show the appearance of a crooked tendency with the Volk- und Reich-Verlag. The security service of the Reichsführer has just sufficient documents about the persons who are eligible for the work of the publishing house. These documents are also mostly ý-Obergruppenführers Heydrich dark in memory. There are then two or three cases S.x8-21e/41
