"Mischlich to Basel"

His house servants are people sent to him from Adele and Krakye by Lieutenant von Doering. He has given up drinking beer and wine except when ill or on special occasions. Partly because of cost (a bottle a day would cost 425 Marks each year simply to carry to Adele), partly because their attempt to stop Christians drinking spirits will be in vain until, like the English missionaries, they foreswear alcohol almost altogether, and partly because it would be healthier. NB: There is a report from Mischlich printed in Heidenbote 1896 p 5ff. This does not appear to be in this correspondence.
