Subject Schendl Stein, Abraham Hajduska, Philip Hajduska, Jacob Stain, Trading rights, Step-siblings, Magistrate of the Free Royal City of Sombor
Description A statement by Schendl Stein regarding Abraham Hajduska's request for right to trade. Schendl Stein explains that Abraham Hajduska should not be granted a right to trade, because of his dubious moral and business qualities. Also, Schendl Stain points out that Abraham's father Philip Hajduska has three more underage sons, Simon, Isac and Jacob, who also have rights to inherit their father's right to trade. Therefore, she suggests that the trading rights should be transferred to her until Simon, Isac and Jacob reach maturity.

Esteemed Magistrate,

Abraham Hajduska, a member of the Jewish community and my stepson, asked for the right to trade that belonged to his late father Philip Hajduska to be transferred to him, and I have the following to explain why he does not deserve to get that right: Abraham Hajduska begged some 12 years ago together with his father, and then my husband, to be in the Association of traders. However, it was determined that he caused significant damage to the shop, so he received a large sum of money from his father and moved to Apatin, and after that to Čonoplja, where he had a permanent place of residence. When he spent those funds, he finally moved to Sombor again and, according to the will of my late husband, received an another amount of money, most of which he had already spent. Therefore, I rightly wonder why he is asking for the transfer of the right to trade to him, when he has almost no capital, and why he is asking for funds to open a commercial store when he has already left one secretly and now wants to use someone else's capital and fraudulently open another trade shop for his life companion and thus deceive both the exalted Magistrate and the public. Another important thing is that he is not the only son of the late Philip Hajduska who has grounds to claim this right, because besides him there are three others: one of them is Simon, who, although living in Kula, is also the son of Philip Hajduska, a member of the Jewish community. The second is Isaac, and the third one is Jacob. Although they are minors, they have the right to ask the exalted Magistrate for the same benefits, so my request is that the right to trade be generously transferred to me, the undersigned, and my current husband until the remaining minor sons of Philip Hajduska reach adulthood. When the mentioned sons of Hajduska reach the required age, let the exalted Magistrate then decide which one of them will this benefit be granted, and let Abraham Hajduska open a trade shop from his own money so as not to hide that he already has one, snatching someone else's right and inflicting harm to his remaining minor brothers in favor of someone who is not a member of the family, against all justice and natural law. I earnestly ask that the above-mentioned request be generously granted to me, a devoted subject until death, in Sombor on January 9, 1810.

Loyal and devoted maid Schendl, once the wife of Philip Hajduska, and now the wife of Jacob Stein
