(In the Uniwori letter) Heidelberg, Alte Universität Dr. Sch/E. Mr. State Secretary Karl Hermann Frank Prag Dear State Secretary! . On 3o. June l939 the student association of the University of Heidelberg celebrates its student day and intends to hold a large border rally on this day at the opening. As the oldest German university in the West of the Reich with an enormous multifaceted historical past, it has made itself a special task in the past and in the present to build a wall of German cultural awareness and scientific commitment to the strong influence of Western cultural propaganda within the framework of German research work. The connection that the University of Heidelberg connects solely through its historical foundation with the University and City of Prague makes me ask you to speak at this rally. It will not be particularly necessary to tell you how extraordinarily pleased the entire population of the city and the state of Baden, how especially the students of the University of Heidelberg would be if you spoke here on June 3, 1939 as one of the bravest and most famous fighters for German folklore. For an early notice of whether you are able to respond to my wish, I would be very grateful to you and link to the "opening that you will find the time to come here after J 60 11X
