This petition concerns Matthais Breyel, a farmer from Wyhl, who enquires about permission for immigration to America.
Number 258
Matthais Breyel, farmer and resident of Wyhl, is on this occasion ready with his undersigned family to enquire about immigration to America, and how it will take place. In addition, he wishes to press forward this petition for the purpose of a travel document and to prove the current status of his family as shown below.
His landed property has the approximate value of 1,400 Marks, some of which at this point in time remains unsold, along with some of his possessions. This administrative authority will not, therefore, change in return until that security is fulfilled.
Furthermore, there is no hand-over of a trustee beneficiary which you as the father, Matthias Breyel, holds the total amount for your under aged children.
Apart from a pending absence from you, we have authorised a representative for you, a beadle* in Wyhl named Andreas Stadelbacher, who will arrange the same for you and your inheritors.
The Local offices of the Grand Ducal government have come to be asked, if you please, permission from the petitioner to immigrate with his family to America. The State’s High Government, if you please, is willing to grant permission and the local authorities have no objection to his intentions.

First of all – if and when it happens, after all it has been a year – they came to a written estimate of agreement as to whether his refusal of the current value of his property should be used to turn around his credit. I, then, see his family requesting to obtain a very binding hearing.
Matthais Breyel from Wyhl, who had received a previously requested dismissal document on this day -- only that it proposes nothing – merely allows for his peaceful immigration away from very supportive kinship.
After this proof arrives, he and his family wish to travel on to America. Above all, as in the past, he asks for the issuance of passports to America.
