Date and Place: 24 Nisan 5669, Yafo (1909)
Recipient: Professor Yisrael Levy. [It is not clear to me what his position was.]
Body: I am sending you the forms for the sale [of the land before Shemitta]. Since the respected Baron informed us his opinion, sent by his officials, that he wishes that Mr. Barbea, who was the buyer during the previous Shemitta, should again be the buyer, there is no need to discuss any other candidates for buyer. Please be good enough to act on behalf of the mitzva and the improvement of the Jewish community of Israel, to finish up the document according to the style that you have written here. We need that the esteemed Baron and the lawyers of the inheritors of Mr. Brown will sign.
I will depend on your great wisdom that everything will be done as it needs to be done. We will need the buyer, Mr. Barbea, to sign, as well, that he is accepting upon himself all of the conditions of the acquisition. The Baron or his lawyers shall receive the money that represents the first installment of the price of the land, and the buyer will need to receive the sales deed, so that the acquisition can be completed through the acts of acquisition of money and document. Please send me a clear facsimile of everything that was involved in the sale and its documents.
