Esteemed Friend!
Asked to send me by the bearer of this letter, but not unsealed, just the formula showing how the Kinsky receipt should be written –– slightly more than 600 gulden every six months from the month of April until etc. –– I will send the receipt immediately to Dr. Kanka at Prague who the last time obtained the money for me very quickly. After receiving this is sum I will discharge my debt to you at once. But should it be possible for me to draw the money here before the amount comes from Prague, then I will bring the sum to you in person immediately.
With kindest regards, your admirer and friend
