I, the Royal Tax Assessor, Friederich Jacob Flor, due to favorable circumstances, have decided to sell my house here on the market square, which was built in 1738 and the following years, with a distillery and a copper kiln above the distillery kettle, a good water pump, and in the room where the distillery is located, there is an iron plate that allows one to simultaneously distil and malt brandy and have heat from the furnace; a spacious stone yard, 2 gardens, and a special grass yard, as well as a women’s church stall, together with a barn, granary, wagon shed, a horse stable for 10 to 12 horses, and other cattle stables; furthermore, 1/8 part of the barley and corn mill built near the local town in 1758, together with the adjoining paddock, partly surrounded by ditches, partly by fencing, to be sold either separately or as one;. Interested Gentlemen are hereby requested, as befits their rank, to inquire about the conditions of sale from me or from the local apothecary, Mr. Christian Detleff Riepe, and then to bid and outbid on them, and to expect shortly that all of the above will be handed over for sale and awarded to the acceptable bidder, or to the person who will have made the highest bid about 8 days before the next Michaelmas.

Should one or other of the interested gentlemen find it in their interest to acquire about 3 to 4 Drömt[1] of very good grain from good land, we will also be happy to oblige, and will not fail to do so in return for a fair price and timely payment. Heiligenhafen, July 22nd, 1776.
