Schaufuß, Conrad Ernst.

Eh. Letter with signature, dat. Greiz, 15 Jan. 1816. Gr.8°. 2 fol., 2 p. inscribed. Several folds. To the Oberbergrat Rinmann in Coburg concerning the minting of Schleiz three Pfennig coins: "Is it still not possible that: - the copper delivered by me to the mint at Saalfeld already on August 26th last year can be minted into Three Pence coins from Schleiz? It would be a great pleasure to me if you would have the kindness to inform me, as the person in charge of this business, of this. - Because I am now finally induced to bring the Chamber in Schleiz more detailed information about this coinage, and its long duration seems to me too strange as that I am able to pass a judgement about it which might be based but on a perhaps quite wrong assumption...". - With handwritten notes at the beginning of the letter a. at the lower margin: "Dem Hochlöbl. margin: "Vorgel. to the High Löbl. Praesidio." - "Br. m. to deliver to Mr. Bergrath Graupner for the quickest arrangement of the necessary, and only to remit the letter". - Cf. in addition Findbuch Landesregierung Greiz... "Investigation cases against the dyer Ernst Conrad Schaufuß on account of foreign sheath coins put into circulation by the same". (Dated 1815, Arch. Sign. VIIIb-S No. 18). - Archive Portal Thuringia - General Police Matters: "The interrogations of the dyer Ernst Conrad Schaufuß in Greiz, carried out by order of the state government of Greiz, about the foreign coins put into circulation by the ducal Saxon special commission of Saalfeld. Special Commission of Saalfeld by requisitions and information concerning the coinage of Saalfeld (Arch.Sign 4085, Dat. 1815-1816). - Address sheet with tears presumably from opening and folding in the fold.
