Rev. Isaak Leeser, Phila.
Smyrna, April 18. 1852
Sir!
Yours of the 14. inst came duly to hand, as also did the 2 No: of The occident. Enclosed I send you Three Dollars subscription for the ensuing year, for which you pl will please to send me receipt by retourn of mail.
When I look round and reflect, how much the christian religion (and parti-cular in this country) are doing to annex Jews to her church, I am indeed suprised to find you in your ,,Jewish advocate" com-plaining, for not having encouragments enough from our fellow-Israelites in your different works of on our holy religion. I think it to be the duty of every true Israelite to defend Judaism from the attacks daily made by our opponents, and believe me, Rev. Sir, were it in my power to obtain more subscri-bers to for your valuable organ ,,the occident" I would most assuredly do my best, to get them. I am not at all surprised that you hadn't any subsribers before, in this
State, as there is not more than me and another Israelite living on this Peninsula, and I regret to state that the latter is married to a christian lady.—
I am, Rev. Sir, with greatt respect
Yours
