tribute them among those who do not take the proper interest
in them ?

Furthermore, I delivered two copies to a family in the
Saxon Voigtland, and sent one copy into the Saxon manufac-
turing district. You will perceive from this that I have sown
some seed, hoping that a rich harvest may spring up from it.

If you, therefore, would be so kind as to let me have, say,
25 more copies, I need not assure you that they will meet
with the most conscientious distribution. To each of them I
will affix my office seal. It may easily occur, that some pur-
chaser may come to you who has not traveled through my
medium, but whose attention to your lands has, nevertheless,
been .invited through me. Persons of this class could be
easily recognized by their presenting a copy of your report
provided with my office stamp, and I place every thing con-
nected therewith confidently into your hands.

I will try also to send some copies to Hungary; but it is
rather difficult to transmit pamphlets of this kind to Aus-
tria by the common post route. It has often happened that
they were confiscated by the State authorities, or simply re-
tained by the collectors of duties on the frontier, because they
are considered by them to convey an invitation to emigrate.
I speak from experience; such cases have occurred to me al-
ready, therefore I will endeavor to transmit said pamphlets
by private opportunities which frequently offer.

In general, you will please be persuaded that I shall earn-
estly exert myself to give this little volume as large a circu-
lation as possible. For the present I need no help of agencies,
I prefer to put myself in direct communication with the
public.

In regard to advertisements, I wish you would be so kind
as to send me one in such a shape as you desire it; I have al-
ready mentioned your estimable commission in some, but I
will proceed at first in February with direct advertisements.
Emigration will take large proportions next year. As soon
confidence shall have been somewhat reassured which has con-
siderably suffered in consequence of the late war, and owners
of real estate can dispose of their property without too great a
loss, a great many people will emigrate. I could have for-
warded during the past year about 40 more families, if they
should not have been retained by the unpropitious times.
Further communication from you awaiting.
I remain, very respectfully,

Yours, &c.,
JULIUS BOHEIM,
General Agent.
