Peace and goodness forever. I seek my brethren, and with a greeting of peace, I come to speak to my friend, Rabbi Eliezer Lesser, editor, of the “Occident,” to send me one copy, for I have heard from my friend Leffenherz, who was in Philadelphia, that you mention me for good with re-gard to the matter about which I argued with the Chazan Isaacs which you have no doubt noticed in The Israelite, and which completely re-futed him, because he was acquainted with me for twenty-five years. Why, then, did you not ask me? Why did you do this? Perhaps I could have found a reply of my own, to prove that I had done right. To make it brief, because the letter must be on its way, I beg of Mr. Eliezar Lesser, to send to me the said copy of the Occident to my address, and I shall reimburse you.
Your servant, ready to serve you, with greetings to your wife and children from me and my household,
