| A. I don't know.
Fraeulein von Falkenhayn merely told me that the malaria strain was
given to Schilling. I don't know when. She didn't mention that in
her letter to Dr. Fritz. Q. Let's look at Document NO-1752. This will be marked as Prosecution Exhibit 487 for identification. Suppose you read the letter aloud, Professor? A. "Prof. Claus Schilling |

apparently thought there was a "Strain Rose." A. Yes. That is indicated by the letter. That clears up the matter. He must have renamed this strain which came from my department arid called it Rose. That is very unusual. Normally a malariologist would not do that. Q. Are those your initials on the bottom of this letter, "L. g. RO 17/4"? A. Yes, that indicates that 13 days after the letter was mailed, 12 days after it arrived at the Robert Koch Institute, I saw it. There is also the file note "Settled EVF."
