Hebrew
Baltimore, Thursday, Fast of Esther,1852
To my dear friend, etc., Rabbi Isaac Elazar:
Yesterday I received your delightful letter and I am sorry that I am unable to do your wish. For, all my days in this land I refrained from giving a "Get". This winter Dr. Adler, the Rabbi of London and also his son-in-law, the Rabbi of Hamburg, wrote to me about the matter of a certain "Get" in New York. And there, too, I did not grant their request. My point of view and my principle are not to give a "Get", especially at this time, since in New York, in the Beth Midrash, there are many scholars who want to do such things.
And now, my dear friend, because of the crisis in the country, I have been forced to give up my business now about 6 months, and I have been sitting at home as in my first days. I beg of you to send me through Adam's express, the "Jeshurun" of Dr. Hirsch for the years consisting of volume 59, 60, and 61. I shall return it to you as soon as possible. If you can do so, it will be a great favor to me. For the past 2 months I have not received the "Occident". I don't know why. Perhaps because I left home.
Your faithful friend,
Abraham Rice
