Revd. Isaac Leeser
Dear Sir
I received the Box sent to my address after some delay, but up to this time I have not distributed the Bibles strictly in accordance with your instructions, as an opportunity offered to dispose of Two. I have taken the liberty of fur==nishing the parties, and it is likely I shall sell one or two more—at all events the Revd I. Shaty? shall be furnished with his copy, as I learn he is about leaving Augusta. If it be necessary I will advise you of more are required to furnish your subscribers through me—Col Mitchell is absent from Athens, but I shall send his copy by the first opportunity. I think a Mr ? will take a copy as soon as he returns home, as he has expressed great anxiety to have one, but has been absent since I have been in receipt of them.
Enclosed please find check on New York for amts collected on yr. account. A I Brady Bible $9. subscr $6 $15. I Mayer subscript $11. Frankford $6. 12 Brown Do $6 Lazarus. $6. 12. Lazaron 1 Bible $8. A Alexander Balance & Subscription $8. 26 A Alexander 1 Bible 9 ½ pr ct premium on check 37 $73.63/100 $74

Mr I. Mayer has taken a Bible c $9.00 which please charge him with, as soon as I can sell the others or collect for you a check shall be sent. I wish it was in my power to assist you in your Payments, but times are so dull that it is extremely diffi-cult for me to get on with my own, as we have no facility for getting money apart from sales, as collections cannot be made
You will please charge me with the Prayer Books as I cannot spare the amt for them at the present. I fear Dia's Letters will not sell in Atlanta, as I cannot induce any of our people to take a copy, and of course those of the adverse faith will not. I delivered your message to Mr Mayer, and no doubt under the cir=cumstances he will excuse you for not replying. You will please excuse all errors as I have no clerk and am obliged to have the titles and wait upon all customers who present themselves. Mrs. A. ? Mrs B. and all your friends unite in presenting to you their kind regards, and with the tender of my services in what ever way you can make them available
I am yours Truly
A. Alexander
I have no time to write
and correct my letters
so take this for what
it may be worth
