Heinrich A. Paffrath encloses a copy of a letter he sent in February 1909 to Franklin MacVeagh and the 1909 United States District Attorney for Bridgeport, Connecticut. Paffrath believes that the Salt’s Textile Manufacturing Company in Bridgeport, Connecticut “defrauded the United States” by under-evaluating their yarns imported from Europe. Paffrath wants to know more about the inquiries from Krefeld, Germany and believes he can assist in the investigation.
