Please allow your western neighbor to pluck the dates from the trees
before the hall; She is a woman, without children and with no means
of suport. Were it not for dire poverty, she would hardly have come for
these fruits; And to save her from embarrassment, we have to be espe-
cially kind. She is of course needlessly afraid of a stranger from a dis-
tance; But even to erect a fence would be to take the matter too seriously.
I recall her complaints of the taxation that has made her poor to the
bone; The burdens of war on such persons! It makes me shed bitter tears.
