My dear Governor

Can you aid my
young friend, Mr. Johannes
Schlarbaum, a practical
engineer with your advice
and countenance? He goes
to your beautiful country
to practice his profession
in which he is said to
be an adept. Please
give him such furtherance
as you can -
without too much
inconvenience to your
