Most esteemed gentlemen, District Captains.

Regarding your letter dated ... the 6th of the current year, concerning the royal district office's patent issued in relation to the Jew Chaska Beer Simon Khue, who violated the publicized royal district office's proclamation dated August 27th, 1725, and that I should provide a response to this matter, I have further learned and hereby respond as follows:

This Jew, Chaska Beer Simon Khue, is originally from Prague, has no brothers or sisters, and neither of his parents are still alive. Thus, the aforementioned Jew, with the consent of the Jewish higher authority in Prague, has, as stipulated in the accompanying capital attachment, married the only child and daughter named Judas of my local protected Jew, Oser. Consequently, the aforementioned Jew Oser's daughter, being the only Jewish son here, who has an older brother still alive, would not be allowed to marry under the imperial and royal strict prohibition. Therefore, it was necessary that she promptly wed another because of the inheritance claim (since she is a Jewess and bound to her father's house).

Although the aforementioned Jew enjoys residential rights in Prague and also pays an annual 3rd pardon tax in regular intervals to Prague, he may not lead his family back to Prague. Instead, he must regularly attend to his studies, staying continuously in Prague for half and three-quarters of the year. Furthermore, he has not increased the number of Jews but rather reduced it, as I have released 3 Jews from my protection, and as I hope, this truthful explanation of mine will suffice.

Thus, I humbly recommend myself to your continued goodwill and remain

Moreover, the authorities of Muttersdorf clarified that the presence of Jews had not increased, as exactly three Jews had been released from their protection by the authorities.
