Berlin W 35 Margaretenstrasse 17 [Handwritten note] : Copy to Himmler
Dear party member Rosenberg!
Unfortunately it was not possible for me to thank you for your friendly letter of the 15th of this month, because your news was forwarded to Asch. The technical transportation difficulties under which we had to suffer in the first days of the liberation of the Sudetenland have caused the late deliveries.

I thank you very much for your invitation to visit you in Berlin at the next occasion. Thanking you, I accept your invitation. The important tasks before the elections and the supervision of the reconstruction work keep me very busy. As soon as possible I will give you the date of my arrival in Berlin.
For securing the Marxist, Jewish and confessional literature for your educational and instructional work, my coworker Dr. Suchy is instructed. He will report to your competent deputy.
Heil Hitler!
Signed: KONRAD HENLEIN
