ERICH MATTHES VERLAGSBUCHHANDLER PRAG III, den Brückengasse 3 Fernruf 416-86 24.11.43. Minister's Office question.: 26.NOV.1943 Mr. Ministerial Director Dr.Gies, Prague IV German Ministry of State. Dear Ministerial Director! On 18.9. I had spoken to you by telephone about Gerlach's "convocation" to the Charles University. Mr Gerlach was, of course, happy to agree with a review, so that the matter does not go any further. Now that nothing has happened in the meantime - I spoke to Gerlach recently in Dresden - I allowed myself to ask yesterday in the anzelei of the Rector of the University. I found out that under November 2, a letter has been sent to the Minister of State, whose answer is still pending. Perhaps it is possible for you to accomplish the completion soon. By asking you not to accept my lines unkindly I greet you with Hail Hitler as your devoted Erich Matthes St. M. IV 0-143 m/42
