Dear Generalarzt:
Enclosed I am sending you my hepatitis report for further use. At the
same time I would like to use this opportunity to renew my invitation to
Stabsarzt Dohmen. Since I do not know his present address, may I direct
this invitation to you and suggest that Dr. Dohmen be assigned to me for
several weeks so that we may discover and possibly work on questions we
have in common. This would probably be the quickest way to determine
whether we have the same virus or not. A satisfactory date for Dohmen’s
visit to begin would be 15 July.
At the same time I should like to approach the subject of your
negotiations for mice. My supplies, and particularly my cultures, are so
depleted that they absolutely must be rejuvenated and refilled. You told
me in Hohenlychen that it is possible for you to secure mice, even in
large numbers. May I ask you to endeavor to secure for me several
thousand mice of both sexes, preferably only young animals.
Thirdly I would like to ask whether the hepatitis research will be
carried on in future out of funds of the Reich Research Council? My
funds for this branch are now exhausted and I am faced with the question
as to whether to apply for further funds to my Medical Chief of the
Luftwaffe or to you. I would be grateful to you to be informed about
this shortly.
With kindest greetings and compliments,
Heil Hitler!
Very devotedly yours,
[Signed] HAAGEN
