	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.
