Rev Isaac Leeser
Dear Sir
Your favor 11th Inst together with Power of Attorney is recd and I hasten to comply with your request. Enclosed you will find sight draft on New York payable to yourself for $1896 00/100 of this amount $16 is for subscription to the Occident which you will please mail to M Koppel. I. C. Levy I. W. Frank and myself all Galveston Texas. I was much disapointed in not procuring you more subscribers, the fact is a Co religionist here engaged in the book business induced those I calculated upon to subscribe for the Messenger, and I could not prevail upon them to encourage you also, in your laudable work And it was useless to urge them to subscribe to your other works, as nearly all here are Germans, besides not religiously inclined. Besides we have no synagogue here yet. Should it however be in my power here after to increase the list of names. It will afford me pleasure to do so. I was pleased to learn that your health had improved.

you will please acknowledge receipt of enclosed draft by return of mail and oblige yours truly
J. Dyer.
