Rev. I. Leeser Pha
Rev Dr Sir
The bearer R'. Abraham Nissan is come among us to plead the cause of our starving brethren at Jerusalem. At no time neither the memory of man has their condition been so pitiable as at present, and especially in the community which he particularly represents, the Ashkenazin Jerooshim.
As he asks for nothing for himself, but that every donation be sent to Jerusalem direct, I trust you will afford his mission your powerful support, as well by your exertions among your friends as in the columns of the Occident.
I am Rev. Dr Sir
Very respectfully
MJRaphall
