I have received your letter from the 16th and you will have already received the 10 dollar I sent to your wife.
Now with regards to your letter, I forbid you once and for all to send me papers and threatening letters of this nature, which can only give me reason to never again send you even one dollar. If you think you can blackmail me with your letters, you are greatly mistaken. I have done more for you than anybody else, and of all of them I have the least reason for it, because your earlier letters, which I am still keeping,, would be reason enough to drop you altogether. I have written to your wife that I will gladly contribute my share to the support, and therefore you can turn to brother Gustav, who is the oldest, so that he gets the others to do the same; I have no idea how you get around to writing me letters like this, I have promised to send support to your family over there, which I have done, you have already received 30 dollars from me, I therefore have to forbid you once more to write threatening letters like this, if you don't want that I never send you anything again, which, anyway, happens only while you are over there with your family, since I aim mainly to make things easier on your wife.

Give our love to your wife and write to Gustav so that he takes charge of the matter, since my good words are not heeded.

Greetings from your brother

Carl Friederici.
