[Initial] Th [Thierack]
Dear Dr. Thierack,
The Chief of the Party Chancellery informed me about his secret circular letter,[302] a copy of which is enclosed, and requested me to inform you as well. I herewith comply with this and beg you to consider how far you want to inform the Courts and the prosecuting authorities of it. The Reich Leader SS and Chief of the German Police has, as I was further told by Reichsleiter Bormann, so instructed his police leaders.
Heil Hitler!
Yours very devoted
