'Cher Monsieur Glaser Mon frère me communique la copie de votre lettre du 31/1 99 de Zurick. Absolument je ne peux pas vous féliciter de votre correspondant au sujet de la nouvelle que vous dites avoir reçue de Sanaa: votre correspondant ou il vous a voulu ... ou il est une grande bête, il a eu la force de vous ecrire une pareille bêtise, et je suis bien persuadé que ce n'es pas le Magaoul qui vous a ecrit des choses pareilles. (sic)
... Au sujet de certaines marchandises que j'aurai pu me procurer et qu'on aurait pu vendre en Europe, les prix sont ...(?), je comprends très bien. ... Le premier envoi n'a pas donné jusqu'à présent un resultat encourageant...
Je possède une autre monnaie Abissine dont je vous envoi à par l'empreinte (sic). ... Agréez mes sincères salutations votre ami devoué G. Caprotti'
Short description:
The Italian merchant Giuseppe Caprotti (1862-1919), informs Eduard Glaser (1855-1908) that the news he received from Ṣanʿāʾ is fake and that the person who had transmitted it to him ('certainly not Magaoul') is a fool: he provides some explanations on the political situation in Yemen and reports that business is not as expected.
