(Nov.)
Sir,
In the Occident I found an enclosed leaf in which you announce your intention to print prayer-books and holiday-books translated into English. I too am ready to buy some from you, but I do not know yet whether according to German or Polish ritual. I have also shown this to my acquaintances here and they replied to me as follows; “We subscribed to the Bible which he was preparing: it is now three years and we have neither seen nor heard anything about it.” I at once showed them your state-ment in the Occident, but they were not satisfied. If, therefore, you desire what answer I could give them, I shall do all possible, and shall send by the hand of a traveler in the near future the money due for the Occident.
Your friend,
Menahem Elya Marcussohn? - Identifier
