REUTUNGEN, DEC. 2, 1866.
WM. R. COLE, ESQ.,
Commissioner of Immigration, Baltimore.
Dear Sir:—Two months ago I dispatched a long letter,
which, when you mailed your last of Oct. 17, ought to have
been in your hands. It is possible though that it had not
then reached you. The object of this present letter is to
thank yon for your last letter, and to request, to send me the
pamphlets promised. I have not yet received them, while I
intended to enlarge my operations on the base of them. You
know that the more detailed the propositions are, the
easier access they meet with. I recommend Baltimore where-
ever I can. The project for emmigration is very good. I re-
quest, therefor, to hasten with those pamphlets, I am espe-
cially in need of a good map of Maryland. The special map
which you sent me, did not correspond with my general map.
I rejoice to hear that Mr. Wolz likes Baltimore; I wish many
more would make such an exchange. Please to forward the
enclosed letter to Mr. Wolz.
I am, most respectfully,
Yours, &c.,
O. HAHN,
Attorney-at-Law.

Commissioner of Immigration, Baltimore.
Esteemed Sir :—Your very estimable letter of Setp. 24th,
A. D., together with 6 copies of a pamphlet, has duly come
to hand; let me in the first place, thank you for the confi-
dence with which you honor me, and assure you, that I shall
zealously exert myself, as I have done already, to justify my
recommendation.
I have hesitated answering your letter at an earlier date,
for the reason that I desired to communicate to you some-
thing about my activity. I had an opportunity to speak with
a very intelligent gentleman from German Bohemia, in re-
gard lo your enterprise. He expects to emmigrate by next
spring and had come to see mo in relation to it. He knows
many families in his neighborhood who intend to emigrate to
America, and I have handed him two copies of your report
to make the best possible use of them.
I give the reports to such persons only, of whom I promise
myself to deriive a real benefit. Of what use can it be to dis-
