104.850 Kauffman to Kilian [TWHS, Blasig Collection] 26 Dec 1868


26 December 1868 Galveston, Texas

The Reverend J. Kilian
Serbin, Bastrop County, Texas

The ship “Fortuna” has delivered a box of books to us from Bremen. The “Fortuna” was leaking badly when it arrived and was almost lost. Your chest along with part of the other cargo was badly damaged and in poor shape. We are taking the liberty to sell these damaged goods because they are as good as worthless and we are going to draw up the necessary papers in order to reclaim the loss from the insurance company.

With all due respect we submit to you,
J. Kauffmann & Company

Galveston 26 De 1868

Herrn Pastor J. Kilian
Serbin, Bastrop Cty.

Mit dem Schiffe Fortuna erhielten wir von Bremen eine Kiste Bücher für Sie – Das Schiff Fortuna wurde leck und ist verloren gegangen und Ihre Kiste mit einem Theil der Ladung in total beschädigtem Zustand gelandet worden. Wir werden dieselbe als beschädigte Waren verkaufen lassen, da sie so gut wie werthlos ist, und werden die erforderlichen Papiere ausfertigen lassen um vor der Assecuranz Compagnie den Verlust reclamiren zu können –

Wir sind mit Achtung
ergebenst
J. Kauffmann & Co
