Ciudad Bolivar Oct. 30. 1897
Mr Ernst Hartert
Dear Sir, I have just made arrangements here with Dalton and Co of this city to act as my bankers, but I will ask you kindly to place all money that is or may be due me with J. Henry Schröder & Co. London, requesting them to notify me that I may draw on them through Dalton & Co.
