          High reverenced Sir!


 I have been so happy, to receive Your 
 kind letter and thank You heartly [heartily] for Your 
 kind advices. I pray only, You would forgive 
 me, when I once more trouble You in 
 communicating the results of my efforts.


 The cause of my present mischief is, that 
 a certain Dr. Buchholz [sen.] here, under false 
 fraudulente [fraudulent] pretenses has seduced me, to 
 take partnership with him. It is a ill-
renowned man, who has already deceived so
 much partners. He persuaded me, saying
 that he had an extended praxis and a great 
 sale of his Patent Medicines. But all was
 false, and, after paying 65 Doll. [Dollars], I found
 betrayed me of him in a unmerciful manner.


 This little sum was my last support I yet
 had; now I am fully helpless and trembling 
 for the future.


 I have applied to the German Society and
 to our counsel, but without success.
