Dear Sir
In accordance with a notice in the last months occident relative to the binding of your forth coming Bible, I should wish to have it bound at the cost of three dollars as a ? and also to have the name stamped in the back. I should like to know at your earliest convenience if there is any prospect of Dias letters appearing in a short time as I am anxious to posses them if there is any prospect of them coming out in a short time I would like you to have my copy bound in a plain substantial manner if ? order for an extra copy would expe-diate their appearance in any way you can put me down for another. I am also desirous of purchasing some Jewish ?gical works of course in the english language. You would oblige me by letting me know the names subjects and ? of such books when if you will undertake the ommission I will forward to you

the amount necessary for such purchase
I have nothing to communicate in regard to our spiritual affairs of this place as you have a regular agent who I presume keeps you ? to anything of importance however I cannot close this letter without expressing my satisfaction at the last number of your periodical I have often regretted? that your valuable pages should so often be taken up with local disputes, that never interest any one out of their immediate neighbourhood. Your article of on the importance of Missions will have the affect I am certain of ? the ages of our Brethren to the importance in the worlds movements upon extracts from Grace Aguilars works are worth to me at least the years ? and I should such works to be arrogant? those I have requested your attention to your article on the laws of the world Israel? ought to be read by christians equally with our own peoples. I could with very little trouble to myself fill pages upon this subject air? or not know Dear Sir that it would be an unfair encroachment on your valuable time. praying for your continued health and prosperity I subscribe myself your most

obliged and Respectful Friend
