Revd Isaac Leeser
Dear Sir
I beg you will insert the Enclosed correspondence in the occident (Jewish Messenger) and you will add to the kindness by prefacing them with a few remarks expressive of the feelings of regard entertained by the congregation for the Revd Mr Jacobs & the value of his ministerial labors here. I believe you know him very well personally. The Taleth is a magnificent one and cost over one hundred & fifty Dollars $150. in US. Currency and was specially imported from London, on each corner is Embroidered in gold a scriptural verse from the Psalms surrounded by a wreath of wheat.
Hoping you are well
I am Reverend Sir
Yours Respectfully
B. Y. Benjamin
