Moscow, January 10, 1938.
(Pol. 1 163 g (V))
DEAR SCHLIEP: Enclosed I am sending you the manuscript of the lecture which the Ambassador delivered on November 25 at the Wehrmacht Academy in Berlin.(2) It is the manuscript that the Ambassador put at the disposal of Field Marshal von Blomberg at the latter's request and that has now been returned to us directly by him. The manuscript has been revised once again by the Ambassa-dor and is therefore the only authentic text.
In case you want to reproduce it, as you wrote me, we should appreciate your sending us six copies.
With best regards and Heil Hitler!
Faithfully yours,
VON TIPPELSKIRCH
