Sir, 



At the beginning of this month I waited for you in the place you told me you would be; fearing 

 that your business would not allow you to départ at your scheduled time, I take the liberty of 

 asking you for some money. 



You offered to give me 100 Fr. for each plate ready for corrections; I have four new ones that 

 I will send to you whenever you wish. This will add up to seven in addition to the three that you 

 already have. The eighth is in the process of being completed. 



To satisfy your wishes and also those of Mr. Weddell, My brother and I, have not done any of 

 our other work, therefor i hope that you will respond with no great delay. 



You will notice, Sir, that I ask you only for the amount mentioned, but leaving up to you the 

 amount that you would consider appropiate to send me. 



I wrote to you at Mr. Braun's address, being sure that this letter will corne to you eVéft if, you 

 have left Berlin, 



Accept, Sir, the assurances of my respect and dévotion. 



Picart
