From Ferdinand Weisheim
ALS: American Philosophical Society
<Cologne, February 10, 1778, in French: I have waited for a
chance to convince you of my zeal for your service, and now
hear that you have cordially received a young man from Aix-la-Chapelle.
God has endowed me with few of this world’s
goods, but has trained me in jurisprudence, arithmetic and accounting;
if you have any employment for me, I will furnish
my credentials.>
