New York 21. Nov/56
My dear Sir!
I have been requested by our friend Mr. Selig Newman to subject your good offices and advice to help him to obtain subscribers for an American Edition of his Hebrew Grammar
This grammar has pressed through several editions and is favorably known in england. I myself have used it in the Hebrew National School Birmingham, and it is generally considered as best adapted for Hebrew Schools. Mr. N's long experience as a teacher has taught him what an Heb. Grammr ought to be, so that he has produced one, well digested in its system clear in its rules brief but distinct in the directions, and condensing within a moderate number of pages, every thing the student needs. The London J: Chron. For Novr. 1854 also speaks of it in the highest terms.
Mr. Newmans requests to you are 1. That you would please favorably to anounce his gramr in the Occident. 2. That you would afford him the benefit of your advice as to the best mode of going to work, in order to obtain subscribers. 3. Where he can best get it printed and is likely to find a publisher. Any further suggestions will be thankfully recd. His address is S. Newman. 218. 8th. Avenue.
Yours my Dr Sir Very Sincerely
M J Raphall Dr
Rev I. Leeser
Pha.
Turn Over

The Grammar will contain about 100 pages. What ought he to charge for it?
