Revd Isaac Leeser

My dear Sir
I hope ere this reaches you, you will have received the mss? of the “Reflections on Hebrew” &c and that it will suit your Journal. I now send you the balance of the said article— I hope by this time you will have quite recovered from you indisposition. I sent you by last mail a pamphlet of the History of the Polish Jews which I translated from the French. I should hope you have received it. I must observe to you that should my articles not suit you, please return the mss? as I have no copy I do not mind the Postage I will return the amt of stamps required—but I hope you will find my work acceptable and if so I will from time to time employ my leisure hours to write for your Occident for I consider that to be the best Jewish magazine in the whole United States without any flattery, I read it at all times with pleasure. I take opportunity to mention that I shall so on remit you some money, my Income is very limited and every thing is very high in California which keeps me poor, but never mind, better late than never I will shortly send you some statistics of San Francisco Jewish matters—at present all is still. Some short time ago Mr de Solla formerly of Jamaica wrote some articles for the “Hebrew” on Angels & Devils, I suppose you have read them I have commenced a critique on the subject, I will finish it and send it to you if you like to publish it in the occident. let me hear from you in return Praying for your improved health
Believe me yours truly
H. A. Henry
PS.
You must not scold me for writing on
both sides of the paper, I know it is not
so good for the composition, but I do it to save postage. Still if you do not like it, I
will do otherwise in future. H. A. Hy
