Pro Memoria

On behalf of the Royal German chancellery, we hereby ask the County Mayor to initiate a search for a person named Gomme Holgersen, who is convicted 2 years of castle work for participating in a riot in the year of 1795 at the island Ærø (Aeroe), but due to his escape from the island, he still not has served his sentence. If the person is found you have to arrest him and report to the chancellery and the court at Ærø, and they will arrange a collect of the convict.
The person was reported seen in Kerteminde some times ago, but was not found. He is a man of average size, about 61 years old, has nearly white curly hair, big bright eyes, a big nose, thick lips and a clear voice, he is very strong and is supposed to resist to be arrested and therefore care must be taking during arresting and guarding.
