He who grants life to all living may he grant all that is good to my friend, Rabbi Isaac. I received your letter and note that you are again sending me prayer books and pentateuchs, but I have not yet received them. I cannot wait, and send you eight dollars as you request. If you have not yet sent out the goods, send it to me as soon as possible. I want to ask you to send me several ?, for I am in great difficulty. The box of ? which I ordered ½ year ago have been taken by Mr. Karschet and I cannot provide for the NY communities which is to
me a great loss. If, therefore, you can help me out, send me whatever you can spare, only if they are Kosher, even though not so handsome. You will be doing me a great service.
Ready to serve you at any time.
Yours, in distress, and wishing you a happy New Year.
