The Revd. I Leesor
Dr. Sir
Herewith I tend the enclosed for publication If you aprove of the subject, I should like it printed soon. If it is too great a length, I would sooner wait an opportunity, or have it laid on one side rather have it continued, I am now in my 74th year and wish with others to put our sentiments on record, to show our sucessors, that although living in the Centre of the reformers, we are the avowed enemy to there Bankrupt adventures and their actions. I have confined myself to facts and if they are not ashamed of their open conduct I need neither to be afraid or ashamed to publish them. The article at the botom of page no 2. refers to the death of Dr. D I Gans, the first intemation I had of it was, the anounce of his death and the funeral service from his late residence (in the Commercial)
our Rabbi's advised this, because he had of late tenderd his professional services at our Hospital, but for this service he obtained a very considerable practice among our own people „our by laws have assigned a place in our cemetry for suicides—and for those marrying out of the pale of Judaism, they can have no claim for interment on any account. I have carefuly read the action of the Board of Delegates and I would prefer, that you give it a better Version than I have been able to do. I hope you will be kind enough and correct the errors which are many when this is printed please to let my number be accompanied with 4 more copys. If the radicals in our midst were as numerous as they are wealthy, the Temple scheme would be soon in operation still it is hard to say what Gold Gold cannot accomplish
I have collected Material for a continuation of on the Temple Mania, and particularly on the subject of seating the sexes in the Synagogue which I will forward soon
I am
D. Sir
Yours Truly
Saml. L. Bruel
