English Translation

According to the northern mandate of June 20, 194l, I worked with the curator Fischer and the rector Saure of the German Karlg University in Prague for the establishment of an institute for Eastern European intellectual history.The curator Fischer promised to commit himself to this institute at the Reich Ministry of Education.The rector Saure had a few concerns, because he himself planned a large German-Slavic Reichsanstalt.On the reference to my mission, however, he promised to continue to direct my Gesuvh to the Reich's Ministry of education, because in this way he also believes to promote his own plan. Of this sendenhen adtichtrid meine lenntis.About invitation of the curator Fischer, he addressed you to the secretary of state 4 group leader Frank for promotion.The personal speaker 4 storm banner leader Dr.Gies informed me of another great plan, which runs in similar ricitation. Reichsleiter Rosenberg intends to set up an Reichshochschule for the study of Eastern Europe in Prague.On my order, I also pointed to this request to start working on a small scale. I found particular interest and support at 77Sturmbannführer Wolf, who I also referred to the large, 50,000 frets of Madaryk books confiscated by the state police and whose holdings of books on Eastern European intellectual and religious history will certainly be relevant to Masaryk's interest in this subject. Welehrad large specialist libraries for church unionist and east-church questions, which could at least be used on loan.So the library of the Cyrill and Methodalndemie/in Olmütz - Welechad. Therefore, it would be possible to create a really valuable research institute for church unions and east church questions in Prague without having to find its own little. As far as I can see, everything is due to the fact that Rector Saure forwards my request to the Reich Ministry of Education 13 Lortizgt.
