His dear and precious honor,
After inquiring of our peace and welfare, we are hereby informing you that on the
19th of Adar II, 5689 [1929], we wrote to his Torah honor a letter containing a list of the sanctified properties
belonging to the name of his honor and the honor of the Rabbi, the Gaon Isaac Abraham, manager of Beit Lechem ⟦illegible⟧
which was written to the honorable Joseph Hayyim Abraham, may his Rock and Redeemer protect him, and we are certain that everything reached his hand and they placed the garments
needed both for the house of sanctified properties and for the righteousness of your redemption, all for the benefit of the poor of the Sephardic community
and its institutions in Jerusalem.
And due to the magnitude of our troubles, as today such a long time has passed and we have not received a word from you
from any of the honorable and established institutions, we approach this matter once again and we request
his honor to extend a hand and help us in everything and save us from our institutions, all their poor who
lifted their eyes for the benefit of the year.
In the hope that his honor will hasten his letter, especially now in the very difficult situation due to
the high prices and the shortage, and that I dreamed of great strength from our King and extra generosity of heart from our brothers
abroad to continue and sustain the lives of the poor of the year, and we are certain that the memory of Jerusalem is always on his heart.
We sign with the blessing of Zion and with complete appreciation of his honor for his holy excellence.
With great respect,
President of the Community
