Namely, a member of the Jewish community, Abraham Hajduska, for a reason unknown to me and before I was able to react, fraudulently presented the Pest depository with the wool in question as his own, causing obvious damage and loss to me and the aforementioned buyer Samuel Hersehenfeld.

Therefore, I hope that we will both be worthy of compensation in all ways, and that in the future the public's attention will be drawn to such frauds and actions.
