N Y The eve of Rosh Hashonah. 1853.
Your letter received and notice that you have received my money. I note you are in need of Ethrogim. That is why I sent you through Adam's express 10 ethrogim, 3 green lulabim, and five—. The price of the ethrogim is 12 shillings for the better ones, for the greener ones, 10 shillings, for the green lulabim, seven shillings, for the—three shillings * “The wise man has his eyes in his head”. I relay on your goodness that you will do what you can. If you need any more, please
*Proverbs

write to me. There are also Italian ethrogim which are Kosher accor-ding to everyone's view. I have an order for you from our congregation. They want the English Bible without the prophets, if it is possible to have it separate-ly. Please let me know the cost. They want to institute them in the elementary school. With best wishes for a happy new year, Your friend,
N. Ottinger
