Please to ansere

in poor imitat of German
Peace etc. to the Master, Sweet Singer of Israel, Isaac—
Most honored friend.
I herewith notify you that the books have happily arrived I have looked carefully into the account, but I regret to notify you that many of the subscribers are not from this place, as I have already written to you. I shall gladly take them over, though I have very few pupils. Your account amounts to $71.—, but my order was simply $41.—
Madam Gostzky told me, and gave me her advertisement which is here enclosed, as you see. You know that Mr. Asser Friedenberg does not pay anyone. He will take a copy—free. I however, will not deliver a single Testament unless I receive payment for it. As soon as I have collected the money, you can depend upon my word, I shall send it to you by express. The box has not been opened yet, and I shall wait till I get word from you what to do with the superfluous books, in cases
where the subscribers do not reside here. Have the goodness to reply to me by return mail. Also kindly print* for me another copy of the Testament and also of the Prayer-book The first copies were taken stolen from me.
Please reply,
Respectfully etc
Isaac M. Slatkin

I suppose he means name on the cover
P.S. It is possible that I shall pay you a visit this summer.
