N.Y. Sunday night after
Rosh Hashonah, 1851.
He who grants life to all living may he inscribe for good, my friend, etc, etc. Rabbi Yitzchak.
In answer to your letter, I inform you that I have three kinds of Talithim. I would gladly have sent them to you except that you want them to be three yards long, whereas there are, all of them, slightly over two yards long, and 1 ½ yards wide. They were made in Berlin. The prices range from $7-$9. In measurements they are like the woolen German Talithim and not like the Italian ones which are usually greater in length than in width. Since I did not know whether these are suitable, I did not send them out, and then send the T'phillum and Tzizit separately. If you can use them, write to me, and I will gladly obey your orders, and send the T'phillim and Tzizit along, as you wish.
Again wishing you a happy year,
Your friend,
Natta, son of Isaac Dak Dov.
N.B.
I want to remark that I have sold a good many of them in the South and West and have had no complaints. - Identifier
