Letter
Louis Feinknopf to Francis, January 8, 1885
[Inclosure 6 in No. 53.]
Louis Feinknopf to Mr. Francis.
Krakau, January 8, 1885.
Sir: I arrived here this morning and was immediately arrested by the authorities at Krakau, forcibly enlisted in the army, and now find myself in their power, without seeing my way out of it, for I am at this very moment at the soldiers’ retreat and in uniform. If there is anything that can be done for me it must be done at once, for I am in great distress and I only look to you for help. The papers which you gave me were taken from me and were not respected.
I pray you to do your utmost, and go in person to the ministry of foreign affairs, show them my dispatch so that the case meets with speedy attention.
Yours &c.,
LOUIS FEINKNOPF.
