Respected Sir,
I have the pleasure herewith to acknowledge
the //receipt of the// amount of 600 Reichsthaler Louis d’or à 5 Reichsthaler as specified in your
honored communication dated the 15th of September 1828 and
I beg you to accept my sincere thanks for your kind and prompt
attention. The above sum [h]as been paid over to the Trustees
of the german Lutheran Congregation of this place, and their
receipt for the same is enclosed for your inspection. You
will I trust excuse me for not writing sooner on the
subject than I have done. This was owing to some
necessary arrangements which required previously to be
attended to in order to a settlement.

As Mr. Gilbert van der Smissen is my agent in Europe
it is left to your pleasure from time to time to remit
the proceeds of the legacy to me in charge for the Trustees
for which their acknowledgement shall be transmitted on
the receipt thereof. There can be no doubt but the bequest
of Col. v- Degenfeld was intended for the benefit of the Church
at Ebenezer and it is not probable that any other claims
can be established. We cannot discover any thing about
previous remittances, and you need not trouble yourself with
further inquiries as the Trustees feel satisfied that all
things have been conducted in an honorable way.

The medicines and books have all safely come
to hand for which I would tender you my grateful acknow-
ledgements. At present we are sufficiently supplied with
these commodities and shall not order any at this time.
You will //probably// receive an order for a supply at the close of
the year. Some mistake has occurred with regard to Hilmer’s
publications. I only wished //2 copies of// a recent number of that periodi-
ledgements. At present we are sufficiently supplied with
