Rev. Dr Leeser:
Rev and Dear Sir:
Wishing some books from you, I have written to my Father (Mr Isaac Levy.) and otained his promission to write to you and get such books as I may want and he will settle with your agent in Augusta, Mr Isaac Mayer, I have one of your books which, I have been reading and am well pleased with it (Dias Letters) the books, I desire at present is first, a good chatechism of our faith, I saw one some time since, which I liked very much but unfortunately forgot the name I know it was a large square flat pasteboard back something like the Hebrew reader then. I wish a Hebrew reader one wherein I may learn the alphabet and first rudiments of the language, then I wish a book that explains the rites & ceremonies

of our Holy Religion, and in which I may find out when the holy days ocur. and if you have a small cheap Bible you may send it, thease book my dear sir you may send either by express or mail as you may think best and sending the bill to Mr Mayer it will meet prompt payment, by attending to this most Rev Sir you will confer a Great favor. I remain yours
Most Respectfully
Nathan E. Levy
