Reich-Minister von Ribbentrop,
Berlin.
Foreign Office.
Dear Party Comrade von Ribbentrop,
. Party Comrade Scheidt has returned and has made a detailed report to Privy Councillor von Grundherr who will address you on this subject. We agreed the other day that 2-300,000 RM would be made immediately available for the said purpose. Now it turns out that Privy Councillor Grundherr states that the second installment [Rate] can be made available only after 8 days. But as it is necessary for Scheidt to go back immediately, I request you to make it possible that this second installment is given to him at once. With a longer absence of Reichsamtsleiter P.M. Scheidt also the connection with your representatives would be broken up, which just now, under certain circumstances, could be very unfavourable.
Therefore I trust that it is in everybody's interest, if P.M.
Scheidt goes back immediately. TT ..
Heil Hitler
