Vorsteher:
We replied to the decree that I spoke of with thanks, explaining that we needed no Land Surveyor. But our reply didn't reach the original department - let's call it A. By mistake it went to Department B. What's more, the file arrived there incomplete. Only the cover note arrived. So the official there sent a request for the rest of the file. Now, since the first communication came from Department A, many months, if not years, had passed, so that we had only a vague memory of events and could only reply that we knew nothing about a Land Surveyor being appointed, and that there was no need for one. Naturally they weren't satisfied with this reply. A lengthy correspondence ensured. To the inquiry as to why a Land Surveyor was suddenly unnecessary, we answered that the idea had originally come from their own office. We had of course long forgotten that a different department had been involved. The first official decrees was demanded, but that had been lost with the file. Officials then came to the Herrenhof, and every day formal hearings were held with respected members of the community. Most stood by me, but a few were distrustful, suspecting secret deals or injustices. And so this perfectly obvious point - that there was no need for a Land Surveyor - was at least made to seem questionable.
