Dear Sir,

Having been informed that you are in town just now, I take advantage of this opportunity, to request the favour of a personal interview with you. You know the purpose which has occupied my mind ¹ since many years, and I flatter myself, you might agree with me, that a great deal more could be done for promoting the ultimate result by activity, then by suspense. If so, I think some way could be found out, to advance the interests ² of all parties to their mutual benefit.

I beg for a reply at your earliest convenience, and remain with profound esteem

Dear Sir yours very faithfully
Paul Pretsch
