Rev. Isaac Leeser
Dear Sir—
I received a message per Sarah Joseph which makes me think you misunderstood what I wrote about Dr Dawson's book. She writes me you said you cannot notice the book until you had seen it. I thought the article already in the Occident notice enough. I requested her to inform you that I was writing a Review of it for a medical journal here. The first part appeared in Feby and I am now correcting the proof of the

last. When it is printed off I shall send you a copy of it.
Did you not also misunderstand about sending the Occident to Dr D. I asked you to send a copy (extra) containing the notice of his work, & you appear to have understood that I asked you to continue sending him a copy. Dr D. is such a busy man, and so thoroughly devoted to science that he has little or rather no time for theology. I never knew a man who does as much as he does, and with such readiness & little effort.
Your venture is getting near its end. Do you

intend to change its form. I believe that the old form would be much preferred none here like it as it is. Many have the monthly bound. The other weeklys are never preserved.
How gets on the Board of Delegates. What a powerful reply to Einhorn appears in the Messenger. It would read well in the Herald on t'other side Einhorns article.
I must close, as the party who has promised to take a few lines for me is about to start. Vale.
Yours truly
Abraham de Sola
Did you see
notice of Dr R
Chief Rabbi of
