Dear Sir
Your favor of the 11th dec came in due course with Dec Occidents its too early to look for the Jany No's I enclose herein the Amount of Mr. G. Benjamin's dues which I have, at length succeeded in obtaining—as yet all I have been able to collect. You do not seem to be aware that Mr Desola is republishing his Prayer books in London. At least the volume is printed. I have not heard the price. But as nearly all the members of this congregation visit England very frequently they will be apt to provide themselves with setts there. Which they are enabled to bring out without any expense. I also notice some cheap editions of the Bible advertised in the Chronicle.
Your a/ct was sent to Mr Levy who informs me that he paid for the Books_but that he would transmit the Bill to Mr Lyons—you must hear in mind that having admitted that you had claimed from Mr Lyons entirely relieves Mr Levy from any objection to pay again for the Books. He leaves tomorrow for Europe.
Dr. David held in intercourse with the Editor of the Asmoneon. His work was sent, I believe, after the lapse of some time to numerous Editors

in the United States and heard it preached that of two Jewish publications-notice was taken of it in one only. As you profess to record events connected with our people it was thought singular that the only work published in Canada of the kind would have been considered beneath your notice.
Winter has but just commenced & the St Lawrence was yesterday frozen over. Within a week we have had enough snow for a season. You would be better off here than at St. Louis (as we have only to cross the River to reach Railroads to all parts of the United States. You did not state the cost of some books you forwarded for the Sunday School please let me know that I may send you the Amount.
I enclose thirty Dollars say pee? of Order for 1851 & 1852. 1.10.0 G Benjamin 1846.1847.1848.1849.1850.1851 & 1852 = 7 years
