-
I inform our Master al-Shaykh
-
Abūʾl-Maʿālī, may God preserve him, that this
-
our Master Aaron ha-Levi ha-Zāqēn the son of our Master Joseph
-
ha-Levi ha-Bursiqī, of blessed memory, is heavy-laden
-
in the compound singled out for Jerusalem,
-
may it be reconstructed soon in our times and in the times
-
(7-8) of His entire people of Israel. And that he is one of the first Jerusalemites, there being no doubt nor suspicion concerning him.
-
He is requesting (his due) from (the man) who (is in charge) of the allocations of the compounds
-
(10-11) of the Jerusalemites, since he is in a great distress. He declares that if he
-
-
received his share now
-
(13-14) he would disengage himself with it (of his distress) and at the time of the (regular) distribution he would not request anything. So please write
-
a note to R. Solomon ha-Melammēd
-
regarding (the sum) that you consider proper.
-
Greetings.
