Most of the letters are sent to a 'Kuhl' from Galatz in Hungary where Gordon's headquarters were located. They deal with requirements in connection with supply of goods, services and persons. It was as a result of a trip to Istanbul during this time that Gordon found employment with the Khedive of Egypt which resulted in his final and ill-fated mission.
