The content of this letter describes the atrocities against the "nobility" that the "American" witnessed while living in Galacia, and the seething political unrest in Vienna. This was shortly before the revolution in 1846. He concludes, "But there are reforms, there is a revolution to come in Austria, & the man to lead that revolution is the present minister of finance, the Baron Kiebeck (sp?), a man taken from the people, & to aid him, men are training up in Austria…." He indicates that he is responding to a speech given by Milnes, and concludes, "I do not sign my name, because I am a humble individual, who for a long time have sought instruction & amusement, in looking at the World…." with a lot of high-handed rhetoric regarding the "high minded English feeling."
