Your letter of September 29, the year before, only reached me on Saturday, the 4th M. in Berlin.I thank you very much for that.Your lines at this hour show me in a factual manner how personally your position on the people and the rich work as well as on me.You know,group leaders,that I told you at the beginning of my work in Prague that I will do everything possible to realise a single journalistic and cultural political work in Prag.I personally committed myself to you at that time in the matter of Bohemia and Moravia.I will keep this obligation.I have expressly reserved my personal commitment in Prague when the great central public tasks were transferred to me by the Reich's leader and architect Speer. In addition to the magazine "Böhmen und Mähren", which is to be transformed into a leading publication in the south-east region, it is important to build up the political publishing house that is crucial for this area in Prague,as well as the Bücherring, which is supposed to extend far beyond the immediate area of Bohemia and Moravia.Through the work of André, Prague is to become the central point of book distribution in the southeast and in the near east. With the realization of these plans, the people and the empire will gain decisive influence on the development of cultural policy in this area.Volk and the Reich will be initiators and commissioners for scientists, poets, writers and painters. •/ St. S.XI-21 a14
