Capt. H. C. Meyer,
New York City.
Dear Sir: A few days back I was in Buffalo and stopped at Mr. Flach's store; I learned that you got married. Permit me, dear sir, to give you my best and sincere congratulation.
I always must and will respect you for your honesty, bravery, and your good moralic advices, which you used to give your subordinate. When others did their duty, you used to do three times more than you was obliged to do.
I would ask you for your likeness.
Your most obt. servant,
Fred. Gundlach.
