To append to the piece on the poor of Palestine.This is an unaddressed note, possibly instructions for a publication, mentioning the death of Rabbi Hirsch Lebrew, and urging donations for the poor of Palestine. It suggests including information from the Jewish Chronicle (Dec. 2nd) and mentions a lecture by Dr. Adler on the urgent need for relief in Palestine. The note also suggests that donations can be sent to Holland instead of England or New York, although all agents in the charity work are considered true and faithful.
