To
the Reverend Is. Leeser,
minister of the Jewish Congregation
at
Philadelphia

The Hague 20 August 54
Reverend Sir,
Two years since I have had the honor to receive direct tidings from you and I did not neglect in transmitting to you some publi-cations of a nature to Interest you. As I did not hear the good receipt of those works, I avail me of a favorable occasion to inform me of your health and to assure you of my good wishes for your continuation of the beau-tiful task to excite the religious feelings of our coreligionists in the new world.
If, by occasion, you could transmit me some numbers of the Occident, and principally those wherein papers of your hand and that of your lamented friend M. de Silva Solis—a relation of me—have appeared, you will furnish me a new proof of your kindness and aim to guide my views on the Jewish interests in the West.

I have taken the liberty to deliver a letter for recommandation to your benevolence to Mr. B. d'Ancona, now living at your town and who has sailed for America a year ago. He is well arrived; if you could given me some information on his account, you will do my great pleasure.
You may be assured, reverend Sir, I will be very happy to prove to you, in my country, I am very truly your humble
Servant
T J Belinfante
