1. Errichtung eines Handlungshauses (Forming of a commercial establishment).

Gentlemen, We have the pleasure of informing you that we have formed a partnership, under the firm of Burns & Co., for the transacting of general commission business; and when a favourable opportunity occurs, we may be induced to speculate upon our own or joint account; and we shall, of course, give a preference to such houses as favour us with their commands in this quarter. We have a thorough knowledge of business in general, from having had experience in many mercantile houses in this city, and are fully competent thereby to attend to our friends' interest, in the execution of any orders committed to our care. Respecting our solidity and character, we beg leave to refer you to Messrs. Astor, Brocol, Nymp, Brews & Co., all of this city, who, we make no doubt, will satisfy any inquiries which you choose to make.

Please to note our respective signatures as at foot, and believe us to be with the utmost consideration,

Gentlemen,

Mr. Charles Burns will sign: Burns & Co.
Mr. Frederic Lohs

Your most obedient servants,
Burns & Co.

2. Dienstanerbieten (Offer of services).

We consider it as our duty to return you our best thanks for the many civilities you were pleased to shew our Mr. Roe during his stay in your city. As it frequently happens, that a confidential agent on the spot may be of infinite service in the recovery of doubtful debts &c., be assured that, should you ever require our services in that or any other way, we shall make it our first object to attend to your interest.

Upon considering all circumstances, we are of opinion, that the present moment offers a favourable prospect for consignments to and from your place. Annexed, we beg leave to hand you our price current, which when compared with yours, will fully enable you to judge the article that would turn to advantage **) in this or your market. It appears that tallow, according to your price current, might turn to a good speculation; for it is quoted at 50 rubles per pood, and it sells here at L. 4-5 per Cwt. Hemp and flax are much in demand, but in corn we would not advise you to speculate, as the market here is quite overstocked. We are, &c.

3. Aehnliches Schreiben (A similar letter).

As, by the return of peace, the extensive intercourse between our respective ports will be reestablished, we take the liberty to introduce ourselves to your acquaintance, and to offer you our services for the management of any concerns you may have in this city; begging leave to assure you of the unremitted attention which we shall pay to your interest. In consequence of the protracted war, our market is nearly destitute of all foreign articles; most of which would meet a speedy and advantageous sale, especially colonial and Baltic produce, grocery, drugs, lead, litharge, whale oil, &c. &c.

On the other hand, this place affords advantageous returns in oil, brandy, wine; madder, clover, and other seeds; almonds, capers, and various other fruits; tartar verdigris, sal saturni, &c.

Our partner, Mr. J. F. junior, we expect will very soon reach London, when he will have the pleasure of waiting upon you with our prices current; and at the same time, fully satisfy you with respect to the solidity of our establishment in this city. In the hopes of rendering our services acceptable to you, we are most respectfully, &c.
