Stamberg, ?, 1823.
All good to my nephew Itzik. Since I happen to be in Stamberg now, and circumstances do not permit that I tell you in Münster that which I want to write to you now. I have here discovered that before the coming Spring you intend to depart for America in the company of your cousin (uncle) from Rheiner. I want herewith to ask you in the most friendly fashion, to let me know whether this rumour is true or not. If such is really the case, I should very much like to make the journey with you, provided that you find the idea pleasant. I hope that you will let me know your opinion. In any case, with many greetings,
Your loving uncle,
Aaron Abraham Leeser.
Sent by messenger and
addressed to Henry IsaacLeeser at Henry Leesman Solomon, on the Loerstrasse,

Dear Brother
I am herewith sending you the Lasen Horen trager ? that you asked for. I think it will meet with your desire. I should have been glad to weave one for you, but had no time since I am a house wife and in charge of seven chil-dren, and am busy until ten o'clock at night and after that one feels very tired and glad to go to bed. When you have received this hasen-trager, write to me about it. Also I have heard that you want to go to America, so I suppose that you will first come to pay me a visit. I, too, am not disposed to remain here with our aunt. I don't know what else I might write to you. So farewell and live contentedly.
Your devoted sister,
Leah Lippman
Regards to the good Breicha, and tell her I will write to her when I have time.
