In the night I received your letter — with your bill of exchange. And surely I will fulfill — to receive the money and to settle with Reb Yehoshua, may his candle shine — and to receive from him a receipt. And I will give him a Meizhide from my money. And know — that I am sending you one bishlik — through my beloved friend Morainu v'Rabbainu Eliezer, may his candle shine. And do as follows with the Meizhide and the bishlik: the total of your money — 3020 groshen. Receive toward my debt — 20 groshen. And there will remain for you — three bishliks. Distribute them on my behalf — to the Anash: namely — to Reb Nachman — half a bishlik. And to Reb Dov — also half a bishlik. And to Reb Aizik — half a bishlik. And to Reb Yechiel Mendel — half a bishlik. And to Reb Meir — one groshen. And to Reb Avraham Hirsh — one groshen. And to Reb Yosef — one groshen. And there I previously received from the sum — six rubles — 2020 groshen. And half a bishlik is owed to me — from the letter I wrote before Rosh Hashana to your co-parent-in-law, may his candle shine. And it will be in total — 40 groshen. And when you write me a letter — write me how much more is owed to you — so that I can know — to pray that Hashem Yisbarach help me — to settle everything that I owe to any person. For thus I have learned from our Rabbis ז"ל — that in prayer one must specify every matter in detail.

And today I received — through the hired coachman Salach — a letter from the week of the Torah portion of Shemos — with the receipt from Reb Dov the shochet and examiner — among them. And I ask to be informed about all that our pursuers are doing — every matter at its root. And Reb Aizik, may his candle shine, should write me a letter at length — about every matter at its root. And G-d willing in the coming week — I will write to you at length — several good things.
