[Groschen] and 3 Pf. [Pfennig] annually per family in recruitment-fees (‘Recruten-Gelder’) to the Recruitment-treasury/office (‘Recruten-Casse’) […] And because protected Jews in each of the provinces are all liable for each others protection- & recruitment-fees […they are to assume these payments collectively] when there are not 65 Jewish-families present or if that number has been reduced by His Majesty.”
