Barbados 23 Nov. 1848
Revd. Isaac Leeser
My Dear Sir
I have this instant heard that there is a conveyance for Baltimore, and embrace the opportunity reluctantly to inform you that the set of Parasah Books you sent me in the early part of last year, I had sold to the Revd. John Birchannon? of the ? of Barbie with a promise that the amount would be remitted me shortly after his arrival, but but by the last steamer, I received a letter announcing his death, and that all his property had been levied on by excusion to pay a prior claim against him, con--sequently the amount he is indebted to me is lost, as he has nothing else available to pay, however on my arrival please God, I hope we shall be able to understand each other, as it is not likely we'll fight about such a trifle as fifteen dollars—please present my family's line to my sister, Mr. Fontes and the Carvalhos, and say my wife is busily em--ployed cutting out flannels, and other warm clothing in readiness for our departure, and as I have to attend in pur--chasing the different articles, I have no time to write either of them, hoping that on my arrival please God a mutual good understanding will exist between us, and that it may be in our power to assist each other.
I remain
My Dear Sir
Your's faithfully
Samuel E. Daniels
