Pittsburg Nov. 18th 1852
Rev. Mr Isaac Leeser
Philadelphia
Dear Sir!
Pardon my encroachment on your time when in a charitable occasion I venture to impose a little on your good nature. A few days before New Years a man by the name of Levy a brother to Mrs Tobias came to our city in a very lamentable sick condition. We have since taken every care possible of him, but in spite of the best attention and medical advice he lay's on the brink of death, the doctors do not suppose that he will be able to hold out two days longer. We have written several letters to Mr Levy his brother in Chesnut Sts. but to his shame, he never answer in to any of them. We therefore beg your kind mediation with Mrs Tobias or her brother that they may take pity on their poor dying brother, he will hardly trouble them much more in this world, since I believe that before this will reach you, he may be removed out of this vale of tears. Let them consider reflect their own mortality and reflect on the sad fate of their unfortunate brother.
His misfortune has caused us a great deal of trouble and expense and his disease would even dubble it. Our family and Mr. Marcusson have been the only persons untill now who visited him and endeavored to alleviate his sufferings, and his burial, will of course have to be done by us too.
I hope you will be kind enough to speak to the above mentioned parties and soli-city their assistance, and so oblige
Yours Tr
very Respectfully
L Jarodawski
