Sir

I am desirous to obtain some of Your Publications, by which I could obtain some correct knowledge of the aim and the principles of the International Society.

I am a most sincere supporter of such reforms | and would gladly do my best in support of Your Cause, about which I first wish to obtain some correct information or explanation.

I speak also the German language.

Ich spreche die deutsche Sprache ebenso gut wie English. Ich bin in Deutschland gut bekannt, von 1848 in Wien, und befinde mich jetzt schon längere Zeit in Amerika. Bin hier in Astoria als Uhrmacher ansäßig.

I remain|most respectfully
Your
most sincere Friend
