Exalted Magistrate and much respected gentlemen! There is a new article of the law from 1807 which obliges to recruit new soldiers from the ranks of Jews, although such an article is not in the spirit of the existing decree of the Council of Lieutenancy of the Kingdom of Hungary which stipulates that Jews should not be burdened with this obligation to recruit because they have to be reckoned according to the population: We therefore hope that since there should be 40,000 new recruits, we can be released from the obligation to elect them from the ranks of our community; Namely, according to the previous statute, while our city was obliged to provide 40 recruits, we gave one from our community; Now the Jewish community of the aforementioned city has only 90 men, including minors and the elderly, and the city of 15,000 inhabitants is obliged to provide 166 recruits, so we believe that this number can be met without recruiting new soldiers from our community , and that we should be exempt from this obligation. We humbly ask that this request of ours be granted with due respect. In Sombor on August 10, 1809. Dear Magistrate Humble servants, members of the Jewish community of the city of Sombor August 16, 1809 Respected Magistrate of the Free Royal City of Sombor, esteemed gentlemen The Jewish community of the city of Sombor begs that from now on and in the future it be released from the obligation to provide recruits from the ranks of its community
