[Letter from Seyss-Inquart to Dr. Jury]
Vienna, on the 11th November
Dr. S/K Dear Doctor!
Conversations carried on with Mr. Keppler today in complete quiet, were also extremely revealing. However, I don't believe that the matters have as yet been so fully investigated, as it seems to be the case on the National side and in the Reich; still I believe, that the future development, as long as unusual circumstances do not enter, are already beginning to become apparent. I should be pleasantly surprised, if initial solution were to take place here in the course of this year; I personally believe, that there will be no visible results until early next year. In the meantime, I have received an authentic report from Linz, that the well-known article in the "Tagespost" is not an official article

[Pflichtartikel] of the V.E. Please control your informants, whose reports are undoubtedly incorrect—I hope not incorrect to the extent of being prejudiced. The article is in a class of its own. I believe also, that this information is not entirely correct and I continue to be of this opinion.
I request you now in regard to the question of the "Volksbund" also to speak on the basis of the statements submitted to you, to the persons in authority, since this matter is in a certain sense urgent. At the beginning of next week anyhow we must see a result.
With the best wishes, I remain
Yours truly
Esteemed
