Summary:
Johann Peter Frautschi informs his brother that he did receive
the bill of exchange. He further tells him not to address newspapers
to him since he leaves them at the post office. He states that
he has no use for American newspapers and that his mother did
not either. He believes that they are too secular. He says that
organizations open and close their meeting with prayers, but that
they capture poor people with their beguiling and misleading words.
