He writes: "send the Occident to Moses Shloss and…Mr. Finkel's [in Albany]…and to Mr. Jordan in Hudson, N.Y. Mr. Beckel has paid…to your former agent. Mr. Wysinger is in prison for a badly managed bankruptcy, consequently I can collect nothing. About your [Hebrew word] I have lost the bill…please send me [another]. I have paid Mr. Spanier."
