Dear Friend: ... I going to have a trial this month or start of next
month, so don’t say anything about the hat, only about the stockings and
about the belt. You must go through to see that you know how to speak in
the court. Let your sister speak. I don’t want to work for servant
always. That going to cost $125. I have two lawyers; one ask $78, so if
you come out would you pay half of it or don’t you want to be with me on
the trial? So let me know darling, I got to work too, but so much I take
time to write to you. I am always so happy when I get letter from you. I
got to go, for my letters to get them; to us don’t come no
letter-carrier; I got to go on the post-office. I usually go on the
evening and no one think of me and you forgotten me too because you got
fellow and you don’t want me to know something about it. I have one too
in Philadelphia. My lady told me she would not have taken me out from
the Institution but she saw I was innocent; so she took, me. Here is
nice blond man....
Dear Friend: Just today I opened letter which made me very happy. I
always can hardly wait till I can fool them. Dear Friend tell me what I
can do. I just received letter from my lawyer that I have to go to N. Y.
and he send me bill for $100. When I receive that I din’t know where I
am; I thought I faint when I saw the bill. Listen dear tell me where I
can get the money. On 30th I have to have it. They going to start the
trial. My lawyer he told it going to be bad, that we got to say the
truth, but don’t say anything about the pocket-book and the little
things.... But only the money, what I do about it. My uncle said he
hadn’t any and no one to borrow from. I can’t fool any Jew, Ha, ha. I’m
all broke down. I am afraid when the day come when I come between those
young mens [lawyers] how I going to stand there, I wouldn’t have no
money to pay, so I think the day come to take my life. Now answer me
what you going to do. I going to wait for your letter. Address, Franz
Joseph, C. K. o. f. Wein, Kaiser Palace.
