Munchen. April 10. 1783.
Sir!

The fame of your Knowledges and of your Humanity is spread abroad in all the nations of Europe so, that i take the Liberty to write you, and to inquire you about the possibility of the Merchandising, which a company of Bavarie will undertake in the American Republic. We do hope for much supporting to the accomplishing of this our design in the Maritime-towns of germany, Holland, France, and Spain. But we have not accounts enough from the American Coast; You shall oblige infinitly our Company, if you did order, that any man give us Notice of the Merchandises, which we could put off upon the America Coast, likewise of the American products, which we could sell in Europe. But your Command can procure us that information. We are minded to send a factor to Philadelphie in this year yet. We desire your counsel and your orders, and tell you with all the Liberty republican, that we are your Worshipers. i am with very much Esteem Sir! your very humble servant
