Memphis, Tenn. September 30 1863.
To the Revd Isaac Leeser.
Philadelphia
Pa
Dear Sir! Your favor came duly to hand and the contents were duly noted, I am already busy to re-write the manuscript and will after I have done forward it to you, I intend, if you think proper, to publish a list in the back part of the book of those who will subscribe for the work especially here in Memphis, where I am sanguine that I will be able to defray the expences by their liberal subscription, perhaps you will be able to do the same in some degree, by calling attention to it in the Occident, the first part containing 8 chapters; do you think first to re-write it all, or to send it as I am going along, it will take me 3 or 4 weeks before I will be able to finish it.
I believe I do owe you for 2 Hebrew for which I will send you the money by the by.
The members of our Hebrew want me to accept the office of Hebrew ? I do not know If I shall comply, the Revd Joel Alexander has given entire satisfactory during the Hebrew especially his sermons, as I understood from reliable parties Dr S. Turka is not so much of Wise's school, he is, they say, more orthodox, and does not advocate, reforms, so mote is he!
With the manuscript I will try to send at least $200.00 which will enable you to commence the work, those who subscribe will have to pay in advance, I will write you shortly again
Yours very truly
