          as I was hereby suffering in a terrible manner. 


 And now, looking back at my whole unlucky life
 and his inconsolation, I resolved to leave Germany in 
 the hope, to be happier in Your beautiful country, wich [which] 
 is known as an asylum for infortunate [unfortunate] men of all kinds. 
 I knew, that a pharmacien [crossed out: ha] would have a larger
 sphere of activity here and better wages than in Germany,
 especially, I hoped, in making collections of natural objects 
 for sale here and in Germany, next to later to multiply my 
 revenues and to make my life better.


 But Alas! it seems, I shall have no hope, to be at any time
 happy and I think me surrendered to the mischief for ever! 
 The present case of baseness and deception I never had a
 idea from, has shaked deep me and discouraged! My last
 support lost, how shall I subsist now? And no help nor
 redress by the laws in such proved burglary! 


 My Dear Sir! if You would be the patron of an unlucky
 dispairing [despairing] man and assist him in finding out any employment
 for him, my gratitude would be unexpressible [inexpressible] and
 God will bless You for it.


 I will make use of Your generous permission to 
 call on You and show You my testimonials tomorrow. 
 But indulgency [indulge] me, dear Sir, when I am no speaking
 well English, I am so shy therefore. But, I believe 
 these difficulty will soon be removed by conversation with 
 Your rev. [reverend] countrymen.


 Once more my deep feeled heartliest [heartiest] thanks, and
 surrendering me to Your powerful aid and protection
 I remain with highest respect and reverence


 My highest honourest Sir


 Yours


 devotest & thankfullest servant
 Charles Bogenhard

 P.S.


 Should I have written in my last letter: the 6. Aug [August]?
 than excusation [excuse] me, it should be the 6. Sept. [September]
