If my memory serves me well, I have been trading in wool and various types of leather in this place for more than 20 years, I have the right to live and own a home here, and it is also known how much I have always paid and remained useful to this kingdom. The Magistrate also knows very well that I have always led an exemplary and peaceful life, so it is quite appropriate to send a request to the exalted Magistrate to allow me to set up a trade shop in which I would sell goods that are popularly called wrought goods. All the more I trust that the exalted Magistrate will generously answer my request, because it is always useful for the city community to get another skilled trader, regardless of the fact that their number is legally limited and certainly such permits should be issued only to those who trade successfully and truly, because it only seems to be a common good. With due respect and always at your service, I hope for a positive response from the sublime Magistrate. In Sombor on January 10, 1811. Humble servant Of the exalted Magistrate Lorentz Herczeg (Laurencius Herczeg) Member of the Jewish community and salesman To the exalted Magistrate of the free royal city of Sombor, esteemed gentleman. The request of Lorentz Herczeg, a member of the Jewish community and a merchant, to be generously allowed to open a shop in the city, for the reasons stated in the document.
