Wonderful patria!
Before I could finish my letter an important telegram arrived and I had to leave Austin but now I have returned from my 120 mile trip. I went to New Braunfels because I heard that Henkel left for Germany; now what will you think if he will not bring any letters from me along. But I did not know about this in time. I hope he will bring me some news from you when he comes back. You would not believe how much I am longing for you and how much it will comfort me to hear from you. From the above letters you will see in what a terrible situation I am, not seeing a way out yet. Among these people I will never be happy. I am too proud of being a German. But I don't want to return either, partially because I am too proud; and, also because I am positive not to retain happiness over there. I still had liked the school of architecture and I had hoped to get enough schooling but I was through working for the Prussian State.
I don't know anything about Julius or Fritz. Fritz has not even written to me one time, although he knows my address. When you come, take Mienchen along and give her my best greetings. Where is she? Fritz says in his letters that he would like to come, but I don't believe that there is any money in that business over here. Every art is made of plain trade. You don't have any idea how quackery is practiced here. If he wants to farm he will have a good start, but it is a lot of work. He would have to clear the land and plow and I don't believe that he would like that kind of work. Send my regards to him and his dear wife Luline; and give him my congratulations for the glorious increase of the Pressler family. Concerning my future wife, I say that I haven't decided yet; but speaking of him I think he should take everything useful into sharp consideration. In the manner of the holy propocol he should tell about the different charms, defects and deficiencies, etc.
The End
