107 Mac Dougal St
N. Y. 3d June/59
Rev Dear Sir
The committee of arrangements at St. Louis have invited me to consecrate their Synagogue & I have accepted the invitation. This morning I receive a letter from them dated 31st Ulto. In which they say to me that they inclose “the 'order of service' not having any one here capable of translating them, would solicit you to translate and have them printed on one side Hebrew and on the other side English—there being a number of German members of our congregation it is likewise desired that some be printed in the Hebrew and German languages. The whole number to be printed is 600 copies say 500 Heb & Engl. and 100 Heb. & Germ. It is also
suggested that the printing be awarded to the Rev Isaac Leeser & that when done they be forwarded here by express with Billy for paymt.
In compliance with their suggestion, you will oblige me by letting me know whether you will undertake the printing & engage to have the 600 copies delivered at St. Louis on or before 15th June. It will make about 14 pages, including the Title. I should also like to know if you prefer the German translation in this sort of writing or in German text. The folks at St. Louis do not say how they wish their German printed so you must exercise your own discretion, & use that sort of type which you have most readily at hand.
As I fear your reply
by post will not reach me till Tuesday morning, and I should like to send you the manuscript by Monday afternoon mail please reply to my questions by Telegraph, as soon after receipt of this as Hebrew will permit
Wishing you Hebrew I am Rev Dr. Sir
Yours very respectfully
