Contents:
'Verehrtester Herr Graf! Die Lücke meines Briefes der vergangenen Woche (13/3) bezüglich der Regenzeiten im Nadjd auszufüllen, schreibe ich diese Zeilen, das Resultat seither eingezogener Erkundigungen.
... Seit meinem letzten Briefe ist im Wege meines Bruders ein Lebenszeichen von Seiten der hohen Botschaft in Constantinopel eingelaufen. Se. Exc. ... Calice scheint mit Energie meine Ferman Angelegenheit zu betreiben, jedoch bisher ohne Erfolg, da die türkische Regierung erklärt, vor der Verantwortung zurückschrecken zu müssen, die sie durch den Ferman bezüglich meiner Sicherheit übernehmen würde, zumal vor ganz kurzer Zeit 'in diesen von einer fanatischen Bevölkerung bewohnten Gegenden ein österr. Forschungsreisender Doctor Siegfried Langer ein Opfer der Wissenschaft geworden'.
... Machen Sie gütigst von diesen Ergüssen eines betrogenen Wanderers keinen Gebrauch u. genehmigen Sie hochverehrter Herr Graf, meine Hochachtung und Ergebenheit Ihr stets bereitwilliger Glaser'
Short description:
In compliance with a request of Count Hugo Logothetti (1852–1918), Deputy Consul in Alexandria, who intends to lead an expedition of Austrian officials to the Arabian Peninsula with the aim to procure horses, Eduard Glaser (1855-1908) provides further information on the rainy seasons ...
Glaser also informs Count Logothetti on the status of his 'ferman' (decree issued by the Ottoman sultan), granting him access to the interior of Yemen, the obtention of which is pursued 'with energy but so far without success' by Heinrich Freiherr von Calice (1831-1912), ambassador of Austria-Hungary to the Ottoman Empire. ...

Remarks:
In 1882, Eduard Glaser (1855-1908) was requested by Count Logothetti to investigate the general conditions for the procurement of horses in the Hedjaz and in Yemen respectively. For this purpose he prepared a photo report with short descriptions of various horses, which he submitted to Count Logothetti in the course of 1883.
