Most treasured friend:
I have no doubt you received my last letter with the enclosed $3. of Isaac Gersom * and if it is not worth anything, I am returning the receipt to you. I have already spoken with Marx, and he promised to send it up to now, he hasn't sent me even a stone. I think you would be doing well to send a reminder to both these gentlemen to send me the money. I have also told you that you could set aside several of your school books. The money for those which you sent to Bruger ?, you will receive at the beginning of next month. I am enclosing a letter to Dr. Lilienthal, which I ask you to translate into English. My intention and hope is only for the glory of God—to prove through this letter the necessity for the second day of the holidays. I positively request that you permit it to appear this month. I have already sent prepared an answer for him to his heretical questions, that is to all the questions he directed to you. I expect your answer by return mail.
Most respectfully,
Dr. Illoway.
*Perhaps he thinks the check is worthless.
