Shebat Hagadol, 1864.
New York.
[Hebrew]
To the learned Rabbi of the Sephardic congregation of Philadelphia. Sir, I kept my word and today sent a Sefer Torah to the address which you sent to me in your letter. Atlough you wrote to me that $90. is a great deal of money for an old Sefer Torah, please believe me that I paid $50 in actual cash, outside of transportation, whereas at the present time paper money is considered as no thing here. This very Sefer Torah, if I could keep it until just before Rosh Hashanah, I could get $120 for it; and of this, too, I can assure you that if any inaccuracy is found by any one of you or in whatever place to which this Sefer Torah is sent, I shall come there and correct it. For I received a written assurance of its accuracy from Fuerth. I wish you life and peace, and hope to receive a letter from you. I shall also send you T'phillin, Mezuzot, and Tsizit, during the middle days of the holiday.

Have a joyful Passover.
Your servant
Elijah, son of Moses,
Scribe
E. Holzman.
