Med Hensyn til min forestaaende Afreise, tilstiller jeg De Herrer herved en af Geheimelegationsraad Brøndsted til mig i Rom under 26^de Mai 1823 udstædt Forskrivelse, efter hvilken han er mig skyldig 2000 Scudi. Da jeg har bestemt, at denne Sum skal tilhøre mit Musæum for at anvendes i Overensstemmelse med Bestemmelsen i Slutningen af den 5^te § i mit i Kjøbenhavn under 5^te December 1838 oprettede Gavebrev og Testament, saa maa jeg have Dhrr. anmodet om at sørge for, at den betimeligen indfordres, for paa den foreskrevne Maade i sin Tid at komme Musæet tilgode.

As I have decided that this sum shall belong to my museum to be used in accordance with the stipulation at the end of the 5^th § in my deed of gift and will drawn up in Copenhagen December 5^th 1838 I must request you to take care that it is collected timely to that the museum may duly benefit from it.
