Letter from E. M. Holzman to Rabbi Isaac Leeser regarding the sending of a Sefer Torah. Holzman explains that he can provide a used Sefer Torah for about $90.

Letter from Natta Ettinger to Isaac Leeser regarding the sale of prayer shawls (tallit). Ettinger describes three types of tallit he has available, their dimensions (slightly over two yards long and 1 \'bd yards wide), and prices ($7-$9). He notes that they were made in Berlin and are similar in size to German, rather than Italian, tallit. He explains that he hasn't sent them yet because they don't meet Leeser's three-yard length requirement. He offers to send them along with tefillin and tzitzit if Leeser is interested. The letter also includes a postscript mentioning successful sales in the South and West. The letter is written in English with Yiddish annotations.
