Hello, @DeTe1955:
I am very grateful for such a prompt response - and I'm floored you were able to decipher the handwriting! This document helps connect the young shoemaker Carl Friedrich from Birkach to the shoemaker and farmer Friedrich in Washington County, Wisconsin (the name Carl was dropped en route to Wisconsin.)
One family story tells of a disgruntled customer demanding to know why his son's shoes had shrunk and no longer fit. After an inspection of the defective product, Friedrich inquired as to why the shoes had been in an oven. An interrogation of the son revealed that the boy had thrown the sodden footwear in the oven and left them there for a wee bit too long!
Many thanks for taking the time to translate this glimpse into my great-grandfather's life. - BMcGTX
