Novr 3rd 1852,
My Dear Sir
As it so seldom falls to my lot, to have the plea-sure of hearing from you, I am rather tardy in applying for letters; but there is an old adage and a trite one “Better late than never.”
I use all endeavors to circulate your “Occident” but with little success, they would here willingly read them gratis, but I do not encourage such a mean system. I have but two subscribers. Mr. Phs. Bravo and Mr. Harris both of them you may advertize as paid from April, the amount as you advised me to be handed over to Miss Peixotto say 28/ I dont know how your accounts stand with each other so I am unable to make any limits.
A bible was once ordered for one Revrd Duncan Campbell were you send two or three

for approval, the frequent commu-nication I have with the Christian clergy might enable me to dispose of them.
The books I wish could be sent immediately as I require them, let me know the amt & I can remit it for you, the following also have been ordered Dr. Wise's work—3 copies Dr Illowy on the origin and reasons of the Jewish Ceremonies”—if completed—3 copies
Could you be kind enough also at the request of Miss Peixotto to send say a couple of dozen of her Catechisms for this market you would oblige.
I am so busy or would gladly contribute to your periodical in a literary way but I shall endeavor to muster sufficient time next opportunity.
Poor D. Garfaty's death shocked us all and you may judge the state of his family on the receipt of such lamentable news

Hebrew
nothing further to add
I subscribe myself
Ever Thine
A Dehevanto
