Translator's comment:
The note in German at the bottom of this bill is written in Old German Script, but the rest is written in English and in Roman lettering. There are a few words in the German note which are written in Roman script (e.g. Boullee); these are indicated by boldface.

Dear F. Martin Anthes,
Since I am presented with an opportunity to send you this invoice of mine, be so good as to give Boullee the money if possible. Or sign this note, send it back with Boullee.
Yours most respectfully,
