Revd. Isaac Leeser
Rev Sir, In page 230 of No 4 Vol 12 of the Occident, appears an article headed Louisville, the 5th line of which contains the following words:
“it may suffer for a while from unfaithful leaders;”
As I am a candidate for the office, and as it has been hinted by rivals &c. that the above is intended to apply to me, I would respectfully ask you either privately or in your public capacity as Editor, to state whether such construction is intended thereby and if so, on what grounds such assertion is founded.
I may be permitted to add that I had no conception of so construing your language; but am induced to address you in consequence of the interpretation of others.
Entreating an early reply,
I am
Rev Sir
respectfully Yours
A. J. H. Bernal
226 Green St
