10 January 1941. Dear He r Major ! 13. 1. 1941 I come to you today with a request for more private character. At the defense party in Dresden my brother-in-law Fritz Wessely, in the civil profession district court ret in Tetschen, is currently serving as Reeervedberleutnant. I would be grateful if Fritz Wessely, who has moved in for a month, could, until further notice (perhaps for the next 5 - 6 months) in Iresden, be able to refuse, if it is possible to be struck and not special Grlinde vovliegen, to let him eat. I would be pleased if you would give me a brief message as to whether you can respond to my request. I do not know who is directly suc- cessful for this matter, I turn to you on the basis of our previous comradely relations and believe that you will not blame me. I hope you are healthy and well and would be pleased if I could come with you once again on occasion. With cordial greetings and Hei Hitler! To Mr. Thr Major proud, High Command of the Army, Berlin w 352 Tirpitzufer 72-76.
