I have agreed to the handing over of Slovak works to the Slovak State. There is no interest in the remaining Czech and German literature of the Institute Library at the German Historical Institute in Rome. I believe that your return and transfer to a Prague library is appropriate. A stay of the library in Rome in any form is undesirable.
