content

I have a large business acquaintance in New York but none to avail me in this respect.
Such excursions would not be requisite forms did we not mean to adhere to faith otherwise both gold & beauty would be within our reach.
Though rather a delicate matter I am writing about I am encouraged to do so by confidence in you as a gentleman & that no unworthy use will be made of.
Respectfully
Joseph S Freedman

Rev Isaac Leeser
Dear Sir!
For account of Mr Bressler I enclose $3 as soon as those books are disposed of I shall make returns.
In adressing the following few lines to you concerning a private affair I hope you will excuse my trespassing upon your time and to be brief I will be plain. Would you have the kindness in case I should during the course of the sumer visit Philada. of introducing me to some Jewish families of respectability & worth? My object is not business but to form another connection. Could you intro-duce me to some that are Americans by birth & education or so by manners and language? It seems to me there must be a large number of Portuguese or others of that class in Phild. than at any other place.
