§§§
The undersigned has two lien documents belonging to her and her co-inheritors and registered to [secured by ?] parcels of land located in the II. Quarter of the City of Mitau No. 209 and 210, namely:
The above liens were paid off and were received, complete with the signatures of the respective creditors, the Jette Isakowitz and Charlotte von Rudniew. Subsequently however, these paid-up and no longer valid documents have disappeared. Consequently the undersigned is forced to warn all persons not to buy these documents, and she promises an appropriate reward to anyone restoring them to her for the purpose of expunging the obligations in the Mortgage Register.
