Honored Sir:
Since I have not received a definite answer from Germany about the Torahs, and you may not obtain everything just as you wish it, I permit myself to write to you again. I assure you that this copy is excellent and perfect, in spite of the fact that it is 28 inches long. The writing in it is handsome and clear—not too difficult. The columns are close to-gether, so that it is not too heavy. I shall also lower the price in view of cash payment. Should you have no need for it, I beg of you to include the following advertisement in the “Occident”: Three hundred and 60 catalogues will probably arrive into your hands on Wednesday by express. If extraordinary circum-stances hinder me in this the matter will rest 'till next month, for the follow- Frank's prayer book will not come up to yours either in completeness or in beauty or in translation, but it will be sold, for our brothers for the most part do not require all this. They want a prayer book with English more as a matter of vanity than as a matter of necessity, and they therefore buy
Note this
the cheapest. With regard to Dr. Wort-mann's affair, I received the enclosed.
If several subscribers could be obtained, for your writings, it could only be for the July number and semi-annual subscriptions. More than $1.50 could not be obtained from anyone and that with difficulty. I should have done it even without your request.
I hardly believe I shall be able to do more for you. The fault is not mine. That I tell you the truth, you will soon discover.
Respectfully,
