Letter contd. from p.66 [sic] Recd. from Franz Rahtkens

The extremely low rates of freight still prevalent, & the continued heavy back calls of the

Mutual Insurance Clubs are, of course, mainly to blame, & whilst these may be more easily

borne by larger more modern boats it seems, with the low freights now ruling & the S. S. John

Redhead's general impracticability & heavy consumption, so impossible to do any further good

that we would suggest to our co-owners to sell the boat as speedily as possible. We are the

more persuaded to make this proposal as No. 3 Survey, always heavy & costly, is now due, &

as there are no funds in hand to betray it. Will you be kind enough to favour us with your

views as early as possible.

[p 76} Copy of letter recd. July 22nd 1895 from Messrs. Franz Rahtkens & Co. - we have not

yet been favoured with your reply to our circular of the 6th. inst. & would now beg to submit

the proposal already assented to by a large majority, of selling the boat to a Norwegian

Company of limited liability to which we shall be glad to receive your consent. Scrip would be

issued for your share, & of course afford complete security. - Several of our neighbours have

already done so with considerable advantage. (signed F. Rahtkens)

Mr. Schoof has ansd. same & consented to it being sold.

2/7/1894 49 Copy of letter containing instructions re the Carl Gottfried Muller case to Mr. Letzner

To Rechts-Anwalt Letzner, Chemnitz

Dear Sir,

In answer to your letter June 19th enclosed a true statement of Mr. O. G. Muller's indebtedness

to the Exec. of the late Charles Russ £4532.8.5 as per bills handed over to you & there can be

no question of its truthfulness and admittance by the Court, we hope. We notice your receipt

mentions only 16 bills whereas you recd. 17, one more of £100 - per 31 of August which

surely you will find with the others.

So the gross amount of the bills is £4602.8.5 of which Mr. Muller paid £70 Rests due £4532.8.5

Respecting the question of interests it is the law in Gt. Britain that in case of accepted bills

there is no rebate for interests we presume that this is the same in Germany however this

question you will know best to decide.

Enclosed please find power of attorney with strict instruction not to accept less than 33 1/3%

in cash or very short payments. Carl Hermann Muller is of course liable for the amount & you

will have to proceed against him unless at the meeting July 5 you settle with 33 1/3% cash as

said above. Awaiting your news promptly we are yours truly

signed 3 fold

13/11/1894 61 Mr. Muhlberg went to Chemnitz Agreed with Mr. Hosel, Trustee of the Bankruptcy Estate of

Otto George Muller that our claim be received, deducting interest, for M 80,479.50 pf.

=£3945.1.6 subject to O. G. Muller paying 20% Cash himself or guaranteed by his father and

subject to the trustees of the late C. Russ dropping their claim on Carl Muller.
