Summary:
Johann writes to say he has received the ship tickets and the receipts for the train tickets, and realized he owes Christian some money, which he encloses. He has filled out the passport paperwork and sent it to Washington, but has asked that the passports be sent to Madison as time is short. He says he will be taking money on the trip in the form of money orders. He hopes to leave St. Paul on the morning of 24 April.
