Revd Isaac Leeser
My Dear friend:—
Yours of the 4th of Nov. & enclosed commu-nication from Dr. Finskel, has been duly re-ceived. I have, in accordance with your request, presented Dr. F's letter & likewise your own to the President of the Congregation “Emanu_El,” by whom the proper attention was paid to it. The President, Mr. L. Tichener, on behalf of the congregation requests me to return many thanks to you for your trouble in the endeavor of procuring a minister. I have to ask your pardon in delaying to answer your letter, the cause of which is that I have been un-usually busy.—The Congregation has received now two applications_one from Dr. Hoelzel now at Australia, the other from a Rev Cohn now at Albani; as no general meeting has of late occurred, no action had been taken upon these applications. According to the occidents & statements by the Heb. Journal (the Chronicle_I believe) shown to me, & various other proofs, I conclude that Dr. H. must be a competent and suitable minister of Rev. Cohn I have nothing heard, but undoubtedly you are acquainted with that gentleman.
Mr. H. Bien's term of office expires in about

five weeks. At the regular meeting that was some time since held for the purpose of electing a Minister Mr. Bien has not handed in any application for that office.
Another Jewish Journal called the “Gleaner” under the editorship of Dr. Julias Eckman has last Friday made its appearance.— I will send you a copy—Thus making five Hebrew sheets in this city.
I have of late not given to you any news, thinking it unnecessary, as we have now Jewish papers published here, & such news, that are of any importance, you can therefore extract from them. But should you prefer, to have them few news occur--ring here communicated by myself, I will do the same with pleasure.
I am anxiously awaiting the “advocate,” & then I hope to procure a good number of subscribers for it
In compliance with your wish, I return you enclosed Dr. Frankel's Letter.
with many wishes for Your Prosperity
I remain
Yours truly
Cauffman H. M?
