Rev Isaac Leeser
Esteemed Friend!
Your last kind favour came duly to hand, and, its contents noted, and would have replied on its receipt had it have been urgent, but I supposed that my silence indicated to you that we would defer the publication of the testimony. I wish that it were in my power to pay the the expence of this printing myself I can assure you I would do so. I am disgusted at the proceedings of the German congregation, it is without exception the most irreligious proceeding I ever heard of, the case I am sure stands unparralled in the annals of American congregations, and its leaders are deser-ving of the severest censure.
You state that probably you will be on here about succoth, I trust you may, we will all be pleased to see you and if you come I hope that it may be your pleasure to deliver a discourse at the synagogue of our congregation. I should like you to let me know at what time you will be on here, exactly the day, you expect to arrive.

There is nothing of interest a stirring here and must conclude in wishing that you may be remembered in the Book-of Life and believe me to remain
Your sincere friend
Jacob Ezekiel
Please remember me kindly to all my old acquaintances and particularly to Mrs Cozzens and her daughter, and to Mrs Hart & Family.
