The literal translation is: I am a poor man, but I am very happy to dig out ten previews (a British currency unit) to find out who sent me a Christmas card with insult.
The connotation should mean that no matter how poor people have aspirations
I am a poor man, but I am willing to make a 10th (currency unit) to find out who issued the insulting Christmas card in the morning.
