CORRESPONDENCE IN FRENCH. XI. 



43. REPLY TO LETTER ASKING INFORMATION ABOUT A 

 SWINDLER. 



Liege, November 10th, 1882. 

 Messrs. Bianchi & Co., Geneva. 



Gentlemen, We bog to acknowledge the receipt of your* of 

 the 2nd, for which we thank you. The Peter Oriandi whom 

 you mention we have known for about the last three years. Wo 

 always executed a small order of his for his Italian journey, and 

 expected to be paid before executing the next, as we had none 

 but extremely uncertain information concerning him. At hit 

 last journey but one, he hod mentioned to his agent that in a 

 short time he would be able to extend his operations, as, by 

 means of his brother or some other person, he would have 

 some .20,000 more capital, and that all his purchases would 

 then be for ready money. Some time before his arrival, he 

 wrote to say that the imminent outbreak of hostilities had 

 brought him a number of orders, and that he would be at Liege 

 in a few days with ample funds ; he ordered his agent to call 

 upon several manufacturers to request them to have ready for 

 him a large assortment, as he was enabled to pay for his last 

 orders as well as the new purchases. 



Following these instructions, the agent called, not only on 

 the firms who knew him, but also on some where he had not 

 been before. Finding out sellers, he took the wretched 

 swindler, after his arrival, to the various firms, who, thinking 

 they would be paid beforehand, pushed the sale. Wher 

 the time for his departure arrived, he gave acceptances in 

 proper order on well-known firms, to most of the vendors, who 

 accepted them, intending to send them off at once to ascertain 

 their real value. To the firms who knew him he said that, 

 having bought more than he had intended, he should pay them 

 immediately on his arrival at Genoa. The boxes containing his 

 purchases were delivered and sent off, as people were far from 

 suspecting that they were dealing with an experienced swindler. 

 I A few days after, the sad truth was learnt. Our town loses 

 J about 900,000 francs. We ourselves, like others, lured by the 

 prospect of an immediate payment, lose about 27,000 francs. 



Herewith we send you an acceptance which he has given us, 

 and which is of no more value than the others ; we also give 

 you our authority to proceed against the swindler, should he 

 still be in your city, and remain, very truly yours, 



DE PBETIS BROTHERS. 



Ltege, le 10 Novembre 1882. 

 Messieurs Bianchi et C'e, & Geneve. 



Messieurs, Nous avons rec.n votre honoree du 2 courant, 

 et vous en sommes reconnaissants. Le sienr Pierre Oriandi 

 dont vons nous parlez nous est connn depnis environ trois ans. 

 A chacun de ses voyages en Italic, nous lui avons toujours 

 execute une petite commando, nous attendant d'en etre solda 

 avant de donner suite a. aucune autre, vu que nous n'avions eu 

 que des renseignements tres-incertains sur son compte. A son 

 avant-dernier voyage, il avait confie a son representant qn'il 

 serait bientdt en mesure de pouvoir operer plus largement, 

 parce que, par 1'entremise de son frere ou d'une actre per- 

 sonne, il aurait un capital de .20,000 de plus ajoute a son 

 commerce et qu'alors tons ses aohats so feraient an comptant 

 Quelque temps avant son arrivee, il e"crivit que la gnerro irn- 

 minente Ini avait amene de nombreuses eommandes, qn'en cpn- 

 se\iuence il serait ii Liege dans qnelques jours aveo un portef euill* 

 bien garni ; il ordonna a, son representant de voir plusieurs 

 maisons et de lea prier de lui proparer on grand assortment.
