Rev. Isaac Leeser,
My dear Sir,
Faithful to my, promise, I solicited subscriptions to your publications, but have only succeeded in procuring a single name. There appears (as you so clearly explained to me, a want of manifest interest in Jewish publications, and still less appreciation of Jewish authors. When oh when will you receive the reward which your labours so e? entitle you to receive. I fear not until a new spirit is infused in the heart of Israel.

Pardon me, (it may be presumtuous) if I solicit a reply to this. My inordinate thanks for the espousal of Judea's cause makes me bold enough to ask a correspondence from Judea's guide. Hoping that you are in the enjoyment of the best of health and an agreeable Pesach, I subscribe myself
Your very ob'dt
Simon Bachrach
