Mr Isaac Leeser
Dear Friend
I send you again a few subscribers to the “Occident,” which I have procured since my last, of the 15th Inst.
I also send you 8 copies of the “Alta California”, and the “Whey” which contains several items of Discussion upon the Ob--servance of the Sabbath &c, by the perusal of which, you will notice, that we do not allow our Religion to be slandered even out here on these western Shores, & are always ready to defend our proud and sacred Faith. You'll read those Articles (I marked them with a black rounding) & form then your own Idea about them There was nothing else, concerning Jewish Affairs, trans--pired to my knowledge; I shall always endeavor to keep you posted up whenever on any thing of any Importance to you, what may occur here, & which may serve as Interesting News in your Occident.
The Rainy Season is very severe this year, beyond all Expectations, & it is for that Reason, that Merchants did fail in laying in sufficient supplies for the winter, and the consequence is in some mines, that miners have to suffer very much for want of provisions. For all other local affairs I refer you to the Papers.

I enjoy, thank God, good Health, hope you may enjoy the same Blessing; but Business has moderated greatly, yet we console ourselves with bright prospects.
Let me soon hear from you again.
Accept the best wishes for your Health & Happiness
from
Yours Truly
C H Meyers
N. B. Mr. Roggenburger & Family desire their kind Regards to you
