Translated copy, dated 25 and 28 January 77. Translation refers to the acknowledgement of the receipt of £13.10/- sick pay from the Bendigo German Club and Court of Foresters. Enclosed Doctor's certificate for Mr. Moeckelmann. Because Detlef Moeckelmann was blind, and his sense of hearing was getting gradually weaker, and his old mother had continuous illness, and it was hoped that the German Club and Court King of the Forest could do a little extra for him. The German Club were not in favor of granting extra assistance for an indefinite period. The German Club voted the money, which was dispatched by the next mail. Mr. Detlef Moeckelmann lost his eyesight through an explosion of gunpowder. His left eye was destroyed, and his right eye badly injured to such an extent, that the recovery of sight is an improbability.societies, aof, correspondence, ancient order of foresters no. 3770 collection - correspondence, mr weibgen, bendigo german club, mr moeckelmann, court king of the forest, h schott, d brinckmann, schmidt
