Hentsch, Henri to John Badollet, November 24, 1829

Description:	Signed by H. (presumed to be Henri) Hentsch. Hentsch begins this letter with some concerns regarding the death of their friend Amat, which he claims to have written Badollet about previously on the 9th of November. In that letter he says he also wrote about the few mutual friends they have who are still alive, and takes a moment in the present letter to talk briefly about mortality. Then he goes on to assure Badollet that he has not been forgotten in Geneva, as is evidenced by the packet of letters Hentsch is including. Returning to business, he has tasked his oldest son with organizing the payment of the debts Badollet owed Amat, which totals approximately 2660 francs. He then includes direct quotes from letters Amat sent him, many of which were kind things about Badollet’s business and character, in hopes that it will bring Badollet some cheer. Hentsch restates that he is going to include several letters his son has found for Badollet, as well as a copy of a journal entry that casts Badollet in an honorable light. In addition to the above is a note, likely written by Hentsch himself (not the person he dictated his previous letter to) though the signature is illegible. Dated 26th November 1829: This note is largely illegible due to his self-described shaky hands, but Hentsch writes that he is attaching some of Amat’s heirs’ receipts as well as a letter written by his colleague Morin from the Bank of Paris.
