Found no death record for Peter Diedrich’s first wife Barbara Mayer. She may have died in NY or GB. Certainly, she died before Dec 1842 [Peter married Joanna Young on 17 Jan 1843].

After reviewing the photocopy that I made of the document [Letter of Intent, handwritten], I think that John Law wrote the note and stated that he was 39, not 31 (Which would also concur with the other data that we have for Peter's age.) The penmanship in this area of the letter is ambiguous, and could probably be interpreted either way, but 39 would fit better with all of the other documentation that we have for his age. I think that this document was prepared by John Law, and then signed by Johannes (Peter) Diedrich in the lower right corner. My belief that the letter was written by John Law, is three fold; there are two distinctive handwritings on the document, It is also the same handwriting as the document prepared for Fr. Van den Broek (also by John Law), and I think that it would be unlikely that Peter would've been fluent enough in English in a few weeks after arriving to have written the note. I do believe that the signature in the lower right is by his own hand.
