Copy. To the Rector of the German Charles University 3 March 1944 Prague I., Mozartplatz 2. Magnificence! The high-minded and generous offering of the German Minister of State honors and obliges me as well as the prospect of the transfer of a research task from the German Charles University in Prague. Now I have personally submitted the necessary leave to my superior authority, the ministry in Dresden, to the departmental officer for the elementary school system and have received the notification that requests for long-term leave are subject to the decision of the Reichsleghalter and that basically requests with personal background cannot be accepted. There is therefore no way for me to move forward in this matter. I can only explain once again my willingness and must thank your magnificence for the effort in my interest. In the most devoted welcome with Heil Hitler! ez. Short Gerlach Hellerau near Dresden Hoher Weg 10 Zu : Tgb.Nr. 225/44 K/G.
