BAMBERG, October 26, 1866,
MR. WM. R. COLE,

Commissioner of Immigration, Baltimore, Md.

Dear Sir :—Your favor of the 24th of September, which
was directed to my former firm, (F. J. Weber,) has come to
hand, and in reply I beg to say that I accept of your offer
and will endeavor to assist you in the sale of land in your
State, in the manner prescribed by yourself.

My extensive acquaintances and my constant intercourse
with emigrants, will enable me to send to you many a settler.

The object of this letter is chiefly to inform you that, in
order to operate with success, it is absolutely necessary that
you should transmit to me, at your earliest convenience, a
greater number of your official Report of Maryland, so as to
be enabled to have them properly distributed. Our farmers
must have something to read or else there is no go. So it
was some years ago with Quebec and the emigration to Can-
ada. After many people from Bavaria and Tyrol had settled
there, the thing went by itself.

Furthermore, I have to request you to inform me whether
you authorize me in Bavaria only for my direction in regard
to my sub-agents, of which there are about one hundred.

I await an early remittance of another remittance of pam-
phlets, and in the meantime, salute you respectfully,

PAUS. F. WEBER.

RHEDE, WESTPHALIA, November, 2, 1866.
WM. R. COLE, ESQ.,

Commissioner of Immigration, Baltimore.

Dear Sir :—Acknowledging the receipt of our favor of the
8th of last monthj I beg to respectfully reply as follows :

I accept of your esteemed offer with the more readiness
since my own family is represented in Maryland. My second
son is a merchant in Washington and a cousin of mine lives
in Baltimore.

In order to remove speedily the prejudice against the former
slave States prevailing throughout Germany, there is only
one method for Maryland, namely, that its Government
itself—this would be the surest way—or the Commissioner of
Immigration should "publish the article, the State of Mary-
land" at the head of your pamphlet, and the article follow-
ing it, "The German Element, &c.," in the Collnis the Zeitung,
a paper of the widest circulation in Germany, appoint a general
agent for Maryland and publish his address also.

If this publication would be repeated in suitable intervals,
together with the remark that those who are desirous of ob-
