D. Sir,
In the Episcopal Recorder of this city, is an article upon the subject of “The Jews” that interested me very much, and I would like much to see it republished in the Occident with such comments as may choose to make—or the comments without the piece. I would like to see both in your paper periodical, first becuse some of us have seen it and have hardly known what to say or think respecting it: the views presented was somewhat new to us,—and secondly, it is written with so much candor and fairness that I think its republication as suggested will have a good effects upon the feelings of Jews and Gentiles towards each other. You will find it in the Episcopal Recorder printed by Stoody? or the 2 of August Inst.
Respectfully yours
Samuel
