A signed petition from Congregation B'nai Jeshurun of New York City, dated May 1, 1850, requesting permission to sell their property on Elm Street. The petition cites nuisances from nearby machine shops, the relocation of congregants uptown, the building's disrepair, and a favorable offer of $18,000.
