Rev. Mr. I. Leeser
Dear Sir
From the Inclosed you will perceive that I am still provided with pens, paper & ink. Publish the article unabridged, or not at all. I can assure you that the heat is so excessive that it almost unfits me for even the slightest mental labor. I never suffered so much from Southern heat as this summer.
Please read the Inclosed letter & then hand it to Mr. M. I can tell you he has no superior- if his equal—in Talmudical

Scholarship in this country. He has two great faults, of which I often reproached him: he never writes anything,—and leads too retired a life. I hope America will reform him in these two things, if in nothing else.
More anon—?
Yours
M Mayer
