The Rev. Isaac Leeser
Dear Sir
I should have written you ere this, but it was long before I could obtain a final reply from the Rev Mr Hass who has concluded now not to take the volumes of sermons, as the price he says is too high for him and he was told he could get them for two dollars. Entre nous, Mr Hass is at present too much engaged with manufacturing vinegar, to cultivate pulpit eloquence and as he has lost nearly all his best members, there may
possibly exist another reason or inducement less to invest. He asked me when he saw me to request you to discontinue sending him the Occident because “he did not order it.”
I am very much obliged to you for sending me the missing numbers of the Occident. By error however the number 49 of vol 17 was sent me for no 49 of vol eighteen which latter number I want. Will you please let me have it at your convenience when my set will be complete.
I hear that Mr Samuel Benjamin is about visiting Canada—will probably
be here in three weeks. I will not fail to remind him of his indebtedness to you.
I leave town with my family tomorrow for a few weeks—though I shall be here for Hebrew—and having some preparations to make must close this now. Hoping you are enjoying good health and all other pleasant things
I remain my dear Sir
yours truly
