New York March 27/57
Rev I. Leeser
Dr Sir/
I may as well send you the few Dollars I have in hand. I have been paid.
Jonas N. Phillips 3.00 M. Morrison 3.00 Dittenhoeffer 1.50/100 Mr H. Levy 1.50/100 & Hy. Simons 6.00 making in all 15.00 now I have to deduct for last month carriage for parcel 62/100 for Delivery 2100—this month 25/100 1.88/100 total 4.75 laid out take off for the 10/ on 33.00 sent last time without charge of ? on 16.00 this time 4.80. total taken off 4.75 & 4.80/9.55. 9.55 off 15.00 there remain 5.45 add to it 10.50 for Bible & Prayer Book 10.50 it makes in all 15.95. I have here to observe that Mr. H. Levy has ceased to take your Publication also Soln Weil & Miss Sarah Cohen, for the last I am sorry for I think it is pressure of circumstances

makes her discontinue it.
Abm Stein also not only will not take it but will not pay—he says when he last paid you he told you not to send it again, for he never reads it.
After calling a number of times on Ritterband he shewd me at last your Receipts for 12.00 paid in May 55 up to March 1855 & yet I hold Bills against him for 12.00 while he only owes 3.00 part of the last Bill for 2 years I am often made to look very foolish when so many dispute their accounts & in cases they are right. I look anxiously for the time when you may be here yourself to see to the matter, as so many have refused to continue taking your paper. I really do not know what to make of it—what has come over the people. Do send the parcel in time next week that the man have time to give them out. The last was not delivered till Saturday, the 7th last & therefore the man did not deliver them

some days afterwards
I remain Dr Sir yours very truly
M. Rubenstein
Send in the parcel one of your Bibles, such a one as you sent me last, but you informed me that it was the last, & I cannot get one of Mr Isaacs except a 12 Dollar one, so if you can one bound for me in time send it, I mean the 8 Dollar one
M.R.
