All that is good forever to my brother- in-law Itzik In the hope that these lines find you in good health. I write this to let you know that, God be thanked, we are well... Moreover, I want to let you know that we received your first letter, in which you wished both of us good luck, which you wrote on the second of Heshvan and which reached us a few days ago. Perhaps the ship which carried the letter came under the embargo and England held the ship back. As soon as transportation was begun again, the Postmaster wrote to me that a letter to my address was being held and that as soon as I would send ? he would send the letter to me.
Leeser evidently sent money to his brother-in-law, but for what purpose, it is not clear.)
You write that you hope I am a good Jew. Don't doubt it You may be sure I

come of a good family, and I also am a Schochet. To our uncle Zalman we have already written...
I remain
Your brother-in-law who calls himself Zvi ben Jacob Katz.
Addressed to Isaac Leeser, Phila.
