IN 1860 BY.N. P. BROWN & CO. MRS, GBARIG'S LAST LETTER. The Full-Text of the Unhappy Woman's Strange Message. In speaking of the mysterious death of Mrs. Geo. Gehrig the Herald of last evening says: spec 4 “The suicide theory has been encouraged by the discovery of a letter which the dead woman wrote about a week ago. Alittle girl took a letter to the TRANSCRIPT office, saying that it was from Mrs. Gehrig. The envelopé~ bore no address.’ The letter was written in German and as no one in the newspaper office could read if’ it was-laid aside and forgotten. Today Fred Brown remembered the letter and took it to F. C. Luetje for translation. Mr. Luetje read the epistle with difficulty, as it was badly written and the sentences were disconnected and in a rambling style. From it he gleaned sentences to the effect that ‘if-he kre v what a loving wife and good mother I have been, he would not treat me sc.’ Anotker was, sy thank God that there arestill many good and virtuous women in California.’ “Had this letter been read at the time of its receipt a suicide might have been averted.” 7 When the editor of the Herald wrote the above he was badly muddled, The sentences as quoted must have emanated from some. one who was talking “through his hat.” We herewith publish a fall statement ‘of how we received the letter, what we did in the matter and the letter itself. On ‘Wednesday last Mrs. Gehrig sent her little boy to-this office with the letter, he at the same time stating that his mother told him to take it to the TRansoript office. The editor of the TRANsoriprT found it was written in German and he being unable to read.it gave it to the city reporter with instructions to have it translated. On the day the letter was received he handed it to one, matis in this city, and each one made tha same statement in relation to it, namely: It. was a letter. written at random and they could see no point to it. In fact it was a lot of badly mixed up matter, and it would be quite a job t> translate it, --As soon-as it was known that Mrs. Gehrig was dead. the reporter started out again with the determination of finding some one who would translate it. The reporter was recommended to Mr. Luetje, the’ well known watchmaker of this city. After reading it he stated that it would be quite a job to translate it but, under ‘the circumstances, he would do so. ‘The fact of the Transcript having in iits possession a letter written by the deceased prior to her death soon got abroad, and all sorts of wild stories began to be circulated about it. Mr. Luetje kindly translated it for the ‘TRANSORIPT, and we. intended publishing it in yesterday’s paper, but at the request of young Mr. Gehrig and a prominent gentleman of this city we suppressed it for the time being. But, as so many false statements bave been made in relation to the letter, we herewith publish it in full, and if a person of any ordinary mind can come to the conclusion that “had the letter been read at the time of its receipt it would have averted a suicide” he ought to be presented with a leather medal. Herewith is the letter as translated by Mr. Luetje: Thanks, to the society to whose mem-the bottom of my heart to thank those «who deserve it. I am satisfled many robust hearts have been broken under \burdens of affliction, to which in some de; all mankind is subjected. very sensible person knows they have unavoidable duties to perform. Love, fidelity and truth are the greatest treasures people may acquire and of which every mother may be proud, even if she cannot prove it in her outward appearance to her husband. My confidence is safe.in saying that I, as wife and mother, have performed my duties towards my husband, and-that I can forgive many obligations my husband failed to perform. Once more I thank all those who have been kind to me in gloomy hours and 8 eepless nights. Glad I am‘there are still generous women in the free State of Califoruia. Frav Franzisca GEHRIG. Le.t Today.
