Dear & Respected sir!
I am sorely grieved for not being able to comply with my promise, in remitting the subscriptions due you of last year, as also the Ballance on the Hebrew. I have as yet not any money collected, allthough having hath the promise re˶peatedly. Gladly would I advance the whole could I spare the amount. But I am & have been for some time past greatly embarrast, so much so, that I am unable to meet my own lia˶bilities.
Believe me, my dear sir, that I feel exceedingly mortified, for not having remittet to Rev. Dr. Lilienthal the Balance due him, which places you no doubt in a unpleasant situation, more so, as I am an entire stranger to you, nevertheless, you hath the kindness & confidence in procuring the request ar˶tikles. I have written to the Chief Rabbi praying for indulgence until Hebrew. By that time I shall by all means raise the money, & endeaver to the utmost to comply, with this my promise.

I shall also urge those, who are in arrea. for the subscription for the occident.
With the sincere wish for your uninterrupted welfare & Happiness I remain
Dear sir your true & sincere Friend
Hebrew B M Emanuel.
