We beg you to change for us 24 gold ducats into bank-nots according to yesterday’s exchange quotation and to let us have them this evening or tomorrow evening; whereupon we shall immediately hand over and deliver the 24 ducats – It would be very pleasant and agreeable for us if your deserving Adjutant would bring me the bank-notes, because there is something I really must discuss with him.

In short and to be brief, we want to see him. – This evening would suit us best. – We remain, most amazing L[ieutenant Genera]l, your
most devoted
