Dear Isaac
Your esteemed fav. Of 20th ? have sooner elicited a letter to Mr Hart (one accompanies this) has the proximity? both from the uncertainty in which you stood as to the more commanding claims of your own Congr, and our own as the day had not been ? fixed until Mr Jonas return. I have not been able to name any definite day until now.
We had been desirous to select the second ? for several reasons of greater convenience but Mr J wishes to be in N. O. by the 2nd? Oct. when his business requires his presence, & he has promised to give a week to his friend in Cini. so we have been over?. the rether as he informs us you prefer the first wednesday as more convenient to your self and Conn. you will we hope take the occasion to spend a few days with us, we will provide you quarters either with E. P. Cohen or Mr Bordley's, as the former has removed to a larger house,, I have no doubt he ? will be happy to house you with them let us know however if you object to either
A marriage before night will be productive of a great deal of inconvenience to us as we are situated & we have consulted Mr Rice who

who tells us that the ? in our laws or customs requires the ceremony at any particular period of the day but that it may be performed at any time & that the usage varies in different countries.
We have a precedent moreover in our own Congr. Mrs. E. P. Cohen tells us she was married at 8 o'clock in the evening.
Please present our warmest congratulations to our friend Carvalho we have not the satisfaction of knowing the lady even by report, but hope & doubt not she is one every way qualified to promote his happiness. bid him recollect his promise to come to Rosalies wedding & tell him the day. We shall however enclose him an invitation; Tell him he is designated as groomsman, let the Sticks? come by all means.
Our love to Mrs Rehine and Mr Seixas & when you write
Truly yours
E. Block.
Please let us know at once if the day suits. your convenience as we wish the invitations to conform ?
