Dear Taffy!

I talked with State Secretary Lammers today. He is going to try to have the Fuehrer receive you, if at all possible, week after next. I told him that you wanted to speak to him about the possibility of acquiring Austrian shares and then also about Mr. Goerdeler. At the same time I asked him to see to it that the audience take place as soon as possible as you were very anxious to have the matter definitely settled, and besides, the Fuehrer himself had promised to receive you. You told me that you would be here on Monday the 8th. I can then tell you the details personally.

With hearty greetings from 
 
Your loyal

[Signed] TILO [von Wilmowsky]
