To Dronke
My brother-in-law Blank writes to say that he absolutely and categorically refuses to enter into a transaction such as you suggest.[1] Furthermore, he tells me he severed all connections with Hinsberg, Fischer & Co. three years ago, as is indeed the case.
I am sorry that nothing has come of the matter, since I should have liked to help you in so far as it was in my power to do so.
