My dear Sir
I have written this by the special request of the most respectable members of the Charleston reformed Synagogue with the view if possible to stop the, so called, progress some of their members are bent on making which, it is clear, will ultimately lay Judaism prostrate The promoters of this, who are also your sincere friends, trust that you will give this an insertion at your earliest opportunity, for their sakes as well as for the sake of the upholding our Religion generally, and that you will not spare your own able pen in support ? the principles advocated herein. The Revd Mr Nathan of N. O ? kindly taken the trouble to copy it and has prepared this for ? with my alterations and additions thereto you can do as you please Whereever I came I found your prospectus in the hands of your friends who I am happy to inform you are very many Hebrew I am now on my return to New York and hope to have the pleasure soon to see you Remaining my dear Sir
yours faithfully
S. Newman

The Revd Isaac Leeser
