Dear Mr. Woller!

 
 

 
    For your letter many best thanks. The office of a Ringrieghters in your dispute wants to be able to agree however first already reveal that unfortunately a K. O. envious person's position suffers werdon.
    The decisive blow was a right hand. Approximately 10 inches long and for those who watched did not see.
    Enclosed a photo of me.
In Hoffmung if only they did not bet, I remain to you and your arguing friends with the best greetings.

  
 

Yours
