Letter from Moses Montefiore, to Yisrael Costa – leader of the Livorno community. Ramsgate (England), 1880.
Written by Montefiore's scribe, Eliezer HaLevi, on official stationery. With Montefiore's English and Hebrew signatures.
Montefiore confirms receiving from him "Two accounting books from the builders, guards and concierges" and thanks him for "his pledge to go every month to verify the place is clean of grass, dust and anything else". He writes that "the surplus money can be used at his own discretion without apprising me".
