LETTER FROM JAN PIOTR ZACHERT TO HIS KINSMAN "XAWI"
San Francisco, 8 September 1892
I am very worried: there's a chance here to get a stake in a silver mine in Mexico, I just need a little money to
get there, but if I haven't received anything in two months the chance will be lost. Please think about my
situation, dearest Xawi, and hurry with this matter as fast as you can. Please kiss Auntie's dainty hands from me
and do ask her for at least a few words for me.
