Rev. Isaac Leeser, Philadelphia.
Dear Sir,
Please find herein enclosd $10.77, wherewith to credit me on my account for the Occident.
Could you oblige me with the numbers for May and June 1866 of your magazine? I handed them to a friend, and they were not returned to me.
News of interest from this place is scarce I can in this moment think of but one item that may be interesting to you. The Israelites of our city were yesterday eve'g assembled in a mass meeting for the purpose of raising funds for a Hospital. $ 7.500 were forthwith subscribed. There will be another meeting tomorrow evening and it is expected that at least the same amount will then be realized. A large lot to build a Hospital thereon was already acquired last summer for $4.000.
I am, dear sir, very resp'fully
Your obed't serv't
B. Felsenthal
