My dear friend:
Herewith I am sending to you my speech at Henry Moses' funeral, with the request to translate it at once and to have it printed.
This time you must please me. I am counting on you.
Bravo for having openly expressed your opinion about Jellinek. He himself wassnut out on Passover a year ago. But he must, he must.
Steinschneider shouts excitedly against Benjamin the II. He calls him an ignorant man. Only free-masonry supports him.
The filthiest that have ever appeared are the two eleven ..... of the Judenzeitung, 11, 17 and 18. The attack on Frankel and against Ullman in Paris is a terrible thing.
Again, I repeat that it is a blameworthy thing to print such things as that of Berend; it is contrary to all law and justice. It is not even old women's talk.
Please send me ten copies of the tenth, eleventh, and 20 of the last one.....
Finally, I send you hearty greetings.
Jonah Bondi
