New York July 8th 1884
Rev. Sir
On my arrival here I found a letter of my brother in San-Francisco stating that having of late sent $100 to my son in Berlin, and he himself being in a critical condition he is for the present unable to make [^] me any farther remittance in money and hopes I would find the means for defraying my passage here among my schoolmates. My brother however is greatly mistaken I perceive that I could not do it without running the risk of loosening the tie of friend-ship that holding me to them from boyhood.
I therefore preffered applying to one or the other gentleman disposing of some funds of the Alliance Israelite or of the russian Emigrants and in absence of Mr. Heilprin who might have some faint recollection of my mission of last year I applied to judge Isaacs of the All:Isr. who is willing to grant me the passage fees on condition that I bring him a letter
of recommendation from a trustworthy gentleman who has any knowledge of my mission which was of bore but a very private character.
Having among other things mentioned of your worthy name Mr: Isaacs said a few lines o from you in my behalf to that effect would serve him as a most valuable pledge for my deserving htat the grant I applied for. I again venture to take recourse to your noble and generous feelings and leave it entirely to your good judgement either to direct the letter to Mr. Isaacs 115 Broadway or to s and kindly informing ^ me of it by a separate postal card, or sending the letter to me to the address on the foot of this[.]
Begging your pardon for intruding
so much on your valuable time and for causing you so much trouble I trust I shall be enabled to prove worthy of the kind sympathy you bestowed on me.
I am Rev. Sir
your obedient servant
H. Krotowski
care of Mr: A. Leszczynski
