Revd Is Leeser
My dear Mr Leeser
I am about to presume on an old acquaintanceship—trust you will not think me troublesome.
I have been as you will see, elected Jnos & ? to their society & have accepted much against my inclination you will more or less be as quick at guessing why—as I could write—the first name of in the list will explain of officers comprizing the Board, will explain all—as I have however been reduced by ? friends who along with me evince much interest in every particular connected? unto our holy religion, to accept office for the success of this society. I have done so enclosed I send you a communication to the effect of the society being organized with a request that you will publish ? in the occident do me the favor to correct the style of this communication should there be any fault—prior to inserting it—I trust my dear Sir you will not permit the publication of this uncorrected—
I recd a letter from Jacob yesterday who wrote me that he would leave your city for New York the following week. Should he not have done so oblige me in handing him the enclosed letter
over

You are no doubt acquainted with all the movements of the Hebrew Portuguese congregation of the city & must therefore be aware by of Mr Nathan's being engaged as minister at a salary of 2500$ per ann. The Syn? will not be consecrated until his return from Jamaica which will not probably be prior to Pentecost Holidays.
I shall be happy to pay postage on letters from you & ask as a particular favor that you acknowledge as soon as possible the receipt of this—
With kind regards from Miriam I remain dr Sir
Respectfuly
Your obe Ser.
Daniel Wolff
Revd Isc Leeser, Philadelphia.
