YOUR EXCELLENCY DEAR REICH PROTECTOR,
Your last letter filled me with such sorrow because I could not but gather from it that not even Your Excellency is prepared to believe me—that I lost consciousness and had to call University Professor, MU Dr. JIRASEK, who remained beside my sickbed for an hour. He is coming again today, together with the specialist on internal diseases, University Professor MU Dr. PEL-NAR. Your Excellency may be sure that I shall always do what I can to please you! But please have mercy on me too and do not demand that I should act against the laws of the church.
Yours, [etc.]
Karl Card Kaspar, M.P.,
^ Prince Archbishop.
Unter Breschan, the 17 September 1940.
