Rev Isaac Leeser
Dear Sir
It was my duty to write to you before this and to inform you of some particulars resp. congre-gationational affairs but there were more news to communicate of which I could not speak before this time, so I had to postpone writing till to-day and I hope for this reason you will excuse me.
You will not be surprised to hear that since shortly after my arrival at Wmspt. I paid my attention to Miss Amelia E. Ulman because I found that all my hopes and imaginations were centered in her and was lucky enough to gain Miss Ulman's affections in return. To-night we are going

to celebrate our betrothal and we appointed our wedding-day to be Hebrew It is Miss Ulman's as well as my greatest wish that you would be kind enough to come to Wmspt. to perform the marriage ceremony for us.
At the same time I can inform you that we had an examination of the Hebrew and German School together with an exhibition of the Sabbath School on the first day of Hebrew which went off very nicely and to the greatest satisfaction of all the members of the Congregation. The children are all doing right well and would be worthy noticing those who excelled, but since you are not personally acquainted with them it may not be so interesting to you.
Our new Congregation is also doing right well and since there is County Court

held here this week will be chartered and have the name Hebrew. We have an addition of one family from Scranton and expect another here shortly.
In expectation of an answer I remain
Yours truly
J S Jacobson
Rev. I Leeser
Dr Sir
I intended to write to you some time ago to inform you how we are getting along with our Congregation &c, but could not get time even for a few moments to do so; since Mr Jacobson has written and informed you of the par-ticulars it is not nessessary for me to do so but sanction all he says; Father & Mother send kindest regards to you and same of
Yours &c Amelia E. Ulman
