Dear Schmidt.

            I have received a letter from Reverend Hansen, telling me that he will shortly send a complete typewriter to America, as well as a man who is said to have been trained in using it. – Please send him by next mail 4 copies of his patent. -      The reports you requested have been ordered, but you may have to wait a while to receive them. – Kindly send, when convenient, the daily newspapers from August 30 and 31. – I am very anxious to see the list of the exhibitors who won prizes[2]. – Respectfully

                                               Yours faithfully

                                                 C.F. Clausen
