“Rescript” issued by Frederich William (‘Friedrich Wilhelm’), Elector of Prussia and addressed to the Chamber-Council (‘Amtskammerrat’) Hermann von Elverich [Present-day Lithuania, Poland, Prussia etc.; Duchy of Prussia]: “The Jews of Kleve-Mark cannot be completely exempt for the levy since the other Jews of Halberstadt, Minden and Ravensburg have already made their contribution. The government, however, will be satisfied with an immediate payment of 1,500 Rhtrn (Reichsthaler). […]” [Researcher’s note: On August 31, the Jewry is permitted to pay half of the required payment — 1,000 Reichsthaler.]
