I had the honour to receive your kind letter of 14th

Zi.-Hejjch 1338. ],{y dear friend, I an nuch surprised to hoar
j ...
that you believe that sone one of ny staff gives no letters
to sign that arc contrary to facts. I beg to point out to

you that none of my staff dares to do so: nor do X agree to.
sign lottors that are contrary to facts: letters are not.
v/ritton except vihen I-want then and after I order then. I am
^ ,
sure, however, that certain nischiefnaking persons in this
‘town consider it their profit to create dissension between

no and the Agency by making untrue reports.
As to the duty, undoubtedly, if it is increased or
decreased, its profits are for me and its injuries'accrue
s
to mo.
