Rev I. Leeser, Dr Sir/
I herewith send a certificate of Deposit for the following payments. Isidire Raphael 6.00 Soln Weil 3.00 He will pay the rest another time.
H. B. Heerts Amt 6.00 & Rev A. Lev 6.00 making in all $33.00 & after taking off 1.98/100 for Delivery & 12/100 for Express there remains $30.10 which I now send you It is strange that I was only charged 12 cents for bringing the parcel when you said that you had not paid for it, while the time before there was a double payment. J. Bernhard says that he paid for the 2 Books on Delivery, as the Boy would not leave them without the Money.
It is very hard to get in any money no matter how often you call for it Some are sick & cannot see you, others are out of the city & some cannot or will not pay. Rittersland promised me to look after his account or at least

she promised which is better, but they have been unfortunate in losing a Daughter. Isidore Raphall wants some numbers which he says you promised him. Sedgewick the most Plausible man living, I am sure will not pay he has fooled me so often
P. Joseph cannot be found, have you any clue to his whereabouts? I shall expect my commission on Lewis Solomons bill whatever the amount is which he paid you as I have called on him at least 15 times for the money & I think I am fairly entitled to it.
The parcel came to hand yesterday & I had to send it up town for I am really sick with a cold which has stuck to me above a month.
Now with regard to your new publications I have to inform you that I have solicited a good many people who I thought were likely to become subscribers, but I could not obtain even one. in one instance Mr Isaacs was present

& heard the refusals & met with Mr B nathan & some one else did indeed tell me that they had already put down their names. So as far as I am concerned I have failed totally. If anything else should occur to me down town shall write it before I send this Letter meantime I am Dr Sir yours very truly
M. Rubenstein
Send me the price of your better bound Quarto Bibles in case I should be asked for one & the percentage you allow on each
