Statement of travel expenses and contributions by Marjem Lerer (Żelazna)

A statement of travel expenses and expenditures on a bilingual (Polish and Hebrew) template, no. LR/11, written with a black pen, a copying pencil (?) and a blue crayon; there are two punch holes at the left edge. The name Lerer appears in the headline, because Miriam (Mariem, Mania) Żelazna, to get to Palestine, claimed to be the wife of her colleague, Eljasz Lerer. The first two items on the list are the English visa and the train ticket. In the first column, "date", it is written 28 November [1935], and then - 8 December. The total amount of the expenditure is 342.25 (zloty ?, if so, this would be the equivalent of, e.g., approximately 1/3 of the monthly salary, a high one, of a professor in Poland at that time). There is a stamp at the bottom: DOPŁACONO (paid) date_____zloty____ - handwritten date 10 December [1935] and the amount of 304.25. Below, written with the same crayon, there is the letter L (a check sign ?) There are no other stamps or annotations on the document that would indicate the issuer. It could have been an English embassy or an intermediary dealing with persons going to Palestine. There is nothing printer or written on the reverse.
