I also could have sworn I saw a word written in the Latin script, which usually means a proper name, that looked like "Volozer", in the same line as the word "Kaffee". Could this be Völker? I will add that part to my list.
I am now on to this part, which is page 1 of letter 8, and it is indeed Völker! This hand just has a really weird 'k' that looks like a 'z', and what I thought was a sloppy/faded 'o' is just a sloppy/faded 'c' (I've now seen another example of it too). So here is Völcker, his existence is confirmed! He is described as "liedXXlichen", which I am tentatively transcribing as "lied[er]lichen", as that makes sense in context, but other interpretations welcome.
No transcription tonight, but I'm mostly done and should be able to pass it off first thing tomorrow morning. I just wanted to deliver a spoiler tonight. ;)
P.S. Forget the list, this correspondence has too many goodies, my intention is now to transcribe all of it. :D
