Friday, Pericope Jethro, (February)
1863.
Peace to my friend, etc. etc. Isaac Lesser
My dear friend:
This is the eve of the Sabbath, that is why my words will be brief and I shall shorten my letter. For some time I suffered with my eyes and could not write. I let my son write a letter to you in which I enclosed one of my recently written articles in Hebrew along with a request, and question whether you would translate it into English. But al-though I have written many letters to you all of them remain unanswered, and I cannot find a reason for it. That is why I am making another attempt, in order to see whether this letter will meet the same fate as the preceeding ones. What I want to know is whether if you have no intention of publish-ing the story I sent you, you will return it to me, for I have forgotten to make a copy of the said story. Moreover, I should like to know whether you have received the $5.00 I ? from Mr. Friedlander that you have sent him the remaining “Occidents.” He wanted to have them back because of the excuse that you have not sent him any since the beginning of the blockade. I took over your note for the time being and thought that you had decided not to send any here until “the anger of the king abate,”

2
that is, until the first anger at the North will pass, and South and North begin to act in a more friendly manner toward each other. I placed an order with you. I pointed out, to you what happened with regard to *____, and that Dr. Adler of London and Dr. Hirsch from here both declared these as forbidden fowl, and pronounced my reasons as per-fectly justified. For all these things I receive no answer. Perhaps this time the answer will come.
Wishing you well,
Issachar, son of ——
Dr. _____?
* Moscow ducks?
