Revd Isaac Leeser
Dear Sir
I feel pleasure in transmiting to you the following resolutions unanimously passed this day at a meeting of the vestry (representatives of Kal A Kodesh Beni Israel) “Resolved. That the Holy Congregation of the Children of Israel thro' their Vestry do hereby tender to the Revd Isaac Leeser of Phila=delphia their thanks for the intellectual and moral discourse delivered in their synagogue on the sabbath of November 22nd 5612 and be it farther.
Resolved That they hereby extend to the said gentleman a hearty welcome to Cincinnati, and feel happy in bearing additional testimony to the high attainments, accute knowledge and moral worth of the Revd gentleman.
Resolved That we invite the Revd Mr Leeser to address our congregation on next Sabbath if he should be amongst us the shortness of notice at which his discourse yesterday was de=livered deprived many of our community the pleasure of hearing him.
Resolved That a copy of these resolutions be handed to Mr Leeser and sent to the “Asmonean” for publication and that he be requested to insert them in the next Occident.
Respectfully yours
Jos[ep]h Abraham Secy
