Mr Lezer
Philadelphia
Kind sir
Your esteemed favour of the 4th instant has come duly to hand.
I am happy to learn of your forming a new Congregation of which you and the ministers and trust that success may Crown your noble efforts in behalf of the religion of my fathers. As for a loan I am unable to grant and being reduced in circumstances nor could I ? influence any loan from others as there are but five Jews in the state of Mississippi only one or two in a place scattered through the lands. Your occident has only been coming since 1853 continuing in August so that I do not owe but ow four years subscriptions. one of my nephews will go out north this summer and settle with you.
I am now over eighty years of age youth and manhood have both given way the gray cold feelings of lifes decline, and the only pleasures now left me are my my daily devotions and religious exercises. With best wishes for your health and prosperity
I am very truly yours
Solomon Soher
