High Esteemend
Revd. & Dear Sir!
You really must in with your usual kind feeling, pardon my not having addressed you on this, as our mutual and esteemed friend Mr. Nathan can assure you that since my arrival here, I have had my time fully occupied with public as well as private duties. I need not tell you of my changing appointments, as you are already aware of the fact; therefore, suffice it for me to inform you, that my cause reason for so doing was, that the situation here offered to me, was far more beneficial than the one I held in Saint Thomas. News I have not any to write— you have an excellent and worthy agent here in Mr. Nathan, to whom I have just handed the name of a new subscriber to the “Occident”— As my subscription has formerly been sent through Mr. Piza of St. Thomas, will you kindly acquaint me as to the date of its becoming due? And, I presume that you will now send my numbers through Mr. N. as I received the are forwarded by last mail. I read the abusive remarks of that scurrilous sheer? the “Record” which surely you will not feign to notice. What else but— the qualification of a little low chatham is ? & indecency, can be extracted from such a source or

company? Or, who constituted a few chatham Is clothes boys teachers in Israel? So the Revd. Mr. DeSolla is with you again, pray O? let him introduce to your notice or community, all the Hebrew in the United States, or he will make a fine affair of the congregation. My respected friend Revd. L. M. Isaacs informs me that Mr. De S wished to attach Mr. Morais in the messenger, but that he (Mr I) refused to permit it. No doubt it will be “recorded” in the Chatham St. gazette. Now Revd. & Dear Sir, I have an important congregational matter on hand, you must therefore pardon my brevity & scrawl, which I feel ashamed to send by the side of that of my superior. However as he promises me his assistance I may yet hope to some day climb the ladder in the hope that you are in perfect health. With most sincere wishes to your prosperity, I now with very best regards
Subscribe myself
Most Sincerely Yours
M. O. I. Myers
Revd. I Leeser
