My Dear Sir
I have to acknowledge the receipt of your long letter of the 20th with the Occidents
My a/ct Curr?stowed Balance due you of 1. 11. 5
Moss & Levy's Subscriptions were

3. 12. 7
This Amount I will enclose Mr Benjamin's a/ct ? but I frequently send for it. There are some subscriptions that I do not ask for as the parties would probably withdraw their ?—but as they are certain to pay all they owe, I think it advisable to let their dues accumulate—such as H Solomon, A E Hart. It is uncertain what number will continue their subscriptions for the coming year—there may be 10 or 11. If you print an extra quantity of April numbers and you send me a couple of Dozen copies, I will have one sent to every Israelite in the province who is able to subscribe and thus ascertain if they have become more disposed than formerly to support the publication. Some are subscribers to the Asmonean which pleases them for its being more of a Newspaper and the ? of our people wish more to know what

is occurring among their friends abroad, than to read sermons which they would not go to a Synagogue to hear.
Mr Raphael's success has not been ? a ? than was anticipated. Even in England he was considered a great man and his ? there had established his name. I shall probably have an opportunity of seeing him in New York. I may have ?one before the Arrival of the next Occidents—which you had better direct to A Joseph & Co. and they will be ? & distributed.
Until I see you Believe me D. Sir
Truly Yours
