Rev Isaac Leeser
Dear Sir
I am in possession of the Bible $4 at your credit and also of your short but kind favor. Believe me I heartily sympathize with you and did I enjoy the pleasure of a more intimate acquaintance would take the liberty of assisting? you, since you have been so long and so unweariedly fighting the battles of true religion and consistency, you should now retire from the field and you can do so with the pleasing consciousness that you have not only diligently but successfully struggled for the faith. Let others now buckle on the armour. A man owes certain duties to himself. The vice of modern ?torship is to sacrifice. Truth and Gentlemanly conduct the smartness; ably described in Bulwer's “Paul Clifford” The synagogue has taken wide and deep roots in the U S. and the modern fashionable Pantheism with all the other crazy German “Isms” will not prevail against it Tender our kind regards to Mr E Moses Mr Lobo & family and accept the same from yours truly
Henry Nathan
