Rev. Isaac Leeser Philada.
Dear Sir,
Annexed please find a communication for the Occident.
In the last part of this communication a topic is touched which might deserve some earnest considerations from the Jewish press. My remarks are in an ironical strain, perhaps another contributor of your periodical, or its chief editor, may deem it proper to speak on it more earnestly and thoroughly.
I am, dear sir, in true regard
Your obd't serv't
B. Felsenthal
N. B. The word „sect,” occurring several times in the annexed communication, has been made

use of with intention and purpose. I would request you not to strike out this expression. The truth indicated by this word (viz: that Judaism in our days has divided into two sects). I am ready to defend at any time. I am well aware that many eminent men in Israel will not consent to this assertion. Still I am convinced of its truth-fulness.
