In 1874, after a hard winter that raised the price of food, the Jews of Jerusalem appealed to Moses Montefiore, who had been continuously supporting the Yishuv and repeatedly attempted to find sources of income for it, with a request for help. In response to their appeal, Montefiore wrote to the representatives of the Jewish communities in Palestine and suggested to initiate agricultural, trade and industry projects in order to improve their situation and save them from the hunger they regularly suffered from, as well as the dependence on charity funds. Montefiore gathered the letters he received in response from the representatives of the communities and from private people, the contents of which range from doubt to open enthusiasm, and printed them in this book in order to distribute it among the Jews of Britain and motivate them to support the establishment of a functioning economy, especially agricultural settlement, in Palestine.
Enclosed: a printed letter by Moses Montefiore, signed with his printed signature, urging the addressee to read the correspondence in order to be convinced of the willingness of the Jews of Palestine to work for their living and to contribute money to Montefiore's agricultural and business initiatives in Palestine.
