Revd. Isaac Leeser
Philadelphia
Dear Sir
Yours have rolled o'er our heads since we have seen each other, and supposing that time has cooled down our little differences, I thought I might venture a line or two, especially on business matters. From time to time I have had the chance of getting your Occident as it originally appeared. I should like to get the whole of the series complete, as I am about making a catalogue of my Library, and would wish the Occident to be in its place. I would therefore request the favor of your sending me the following to complete the said numbers. I will not all I have. Vo. 9 lacks Nos. 7-10-11-12. Volumes 10 and 11 are complete sent to me by my son in law Mr. Nathan Moses—

Vol. 12
lacks only
No. 12

Vol. 13
“
Nos. 7, 9, 10, 11.

Vol. 14
“
Nos. 9, 10

Vol. 15
“
Nos. 1, 8

Vol. 16
“
No. 1

I would also like to have Volumes 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8. complete in paper not bound. I suppose you will be moderate in the charge as a Brother Colleague. If you will send the same to me direct as early as possible—at the same time I wish to subscribe to your new Series upon the same terms that I receive all periodicals with the usual allowance to the Profession.
I also wish you to send me the following works as per printed list enclosed, as I should like if possible to introduce them into the schools here. You will send also the allowance made with prices as printed in the said list. Sometime ago I addressed a letter to you about these books, but not hearing from you I imagine the letter did not reach you. I hope this will meet with more success.
I suppose you receive the “Pacific Messenger” and that you know the Editor is my son. He was at first associated with Mr. Bun but the partnership is dissolved. All the news of importance in California you loern through the two “Jewish Periodicals” of this city. I hope you are in the enjoyment of health and succeeding in your praiseworthy labors. California is improving very much, I think the proper spirit of Religion begins to find its ways through the El Dorado.
Hoping to hear soon from you
Believe me
Yours fraternally
(Signed) H. A. Henry.
