The letter details how Lorenzo can get Jessica away from her father's house, what she will be wearing, and what treasures she will be bringing with her. She also tells Lorenzo that her father is an unbelieving Jew.

I must needs tell thee all. She hath directed How I shall take her from her father’s house, What gold and jewels she is furnished with, What page’s suit she hath in readiness. If e'er the Jew her father come to heaven, It will be for his gentle daughter’s sake. And never dare Misfortune cross her foot Unless she do it under this excuse: That she is issue to a faithless Jew
