Louisville Ky 3 decr. 5613—1853
Revd. I. Leeser—
Revd Sir,
Tho' our friendship has been dissolved from causes at present unnecessary to be recapitulated, yet confident that where honor and justice are invoked, you will be found to be the last to be swayed by prejudice or party feeling, I address you. I am a Candidate for the still vacant office in Savannah, Ga. (the Revd. Mr Rosenfeld having declined the same, as I learn by a letter therefrom this day). Had my application been forwarded with the others from Sava. To New York & Phila. Dr. De La Motta would have been enabled (as he says in his letter) to have made personal enquiries. Now it behooves me to address those who know me. Having stated in my application that I am unfortunately Hebrew and having mentioned your name in conjunction with that of A. Hart Esq as referees, I would esteem it a particular favor if in conjunction or separately as may best be deemed advisable, you would address a few lines to Dr. Jacob De La Motta, Parnass K. K. Mick?' Israel Savanna, Ga and furnish him with such information of the applicant as you may deem justly merited.
Respectfully Yours
A. J. H. Bernal
