Sir,
I present enclosed, according to the letter of the 10th of this month, a draft for the Power of Attorney with the comment that Mrs. Noack has also authorized me for the division of the purchase monies and of the inheritance. If you infer from this no concerns, then would both of you sign the Power of Attorney and have it notarized before the Prussian Consul there. However, if you have a concern, then omit my name in the Power of Attorney. The resulting space will be filled here later. The date of the division of the purchase monies is set for September 5th, by which date you will please send me the Power of Attorney. The fact that your wife is to get 500M up front is not in the will, only that Mrs. Birkholtz is to account for the 500 given her for her dowry from her share of the inheritance. From this it follows That you and Mrs. Noack receive 500M up front the estate.
From Mr. Birkholtz, who has to pay the premium through July 5 of this year, I will demand payment of these monies, as well as of others, long overdue, based on the Power of Attorney, and I request your mutual decision on how I should send you the funds thus obtained.
Lastly, if your wife would like to personally appear for the court proceedings, you will still have to create a Power of Attorney at the Consulate there, in which you authorize your spouse to conduct all the legal transactions outlined in the enclosed draft Power of Attorney, without your presence.

Faithfully
