(May), 1849.
Rev. Mr. Leeser:
By express I received back this morning the Torah, and just now I received your letter. “Since *I would rather give it to you than to another man”, I take this opportunity, to since another one presents itself for sale, at the price of $80. to offer you this one at a reduction of $5, namely at $85. It is certainly worth more, although the other one is also a handsome Torah and also belongs to me. If you want it, I shall see that it is transferred to you. The other party is not particularly to give it on commission. For my own, I have a buyer. I am convinced that I could get more for it, nevertheless, 'first come, first served,' I am awaiting your answer. Greetings from my dear wife, who, with God's help, will soon recover.
Respectfully,
Schnaor? Nussbaum
