Görlitz, Silesia, April 7, 1781, in German: We would be extremely grateful if you would send the French warrant for a branch of our Masonic lodge here at Görlitz. The warrant sent from London was not suitable, for we have no intention of affili-ating with the rite of Strict Observance of the Berlin lodge or the London lodge. If you could send us application cards I will do the necessary and send them back with [Mene?]. I should also like to know if a M. Frosch, director of the lo-terie royale in Paris, is still living, if he is married, and if he is still a Protestant. A certain relative of his wishes to leave him a sig-nificant sum of money. I ask this of you only because your readiness to help and your brotherly love are so well known. Should I be so lucky as to obtain a warrant for a lodge, I will be at your service.
