Lese Hilfe

Hello all,

I received the attached document from the local Family History Center where I volunteer and have been asked to help transcribe it.

I could use some help transcribing the document. I know it’s from Cassel, but I didn’t see a Hesse list, and I know from years of experience that there are a lot of skilled and helpful people on this list.

I can tell the document provides the person’s birthdate in Meimbressen in 1859, it references the fact he’s emigrating to the US, and I can make out a number of individual words like koniglich, Regierung, Entlassung, etc. but I can’t make it all out. I’m assuming it’s some type of document for emigration, but I’m not sure.

Can anyone help me out?

Thanks,
Don

Hi,

I think I I´m going to propose three slight corrections:
dem Levi Rosenbaum
Behufs seiner Auswanderung nach America und
Diese Entlassungs-Urkunde bewirkt für die ausdrücklich darin
