Revd Isaac Leeser
Valued Friend!
If I am not mistaken I am indebted to you a reply to your esteemed favour of the 12th March, the con-tents of which was duly noted, and in reply regret that any act of mine should have proven any wise detrimental to your interest, I know (that your good knowledge of) Ger-man (Bavarian) liberality in patronizing a Journal could not have been much im-paired by the publication of the article con-cerning the "Beth Haim" I can assure you that it did not make one jot difference. I have noticed all your hints concerning the congregation and hope to profit by them.
I see by the letter that Jacob A. Levy recd from you the other day, that you anticipate a flare up with the Education Society, whilst I know that you main-tain correct views and a stickler of just principles, I must advise you, to desist the opposition to the majority, rather retire peacably from them than to combat with your superior in power,

I wish I could see you otherwise situated with the Israelites of Philada. I fear from what I can learn that the breach of dissention is expanding between you and them. I have stuck to your views and opposition here and would that I was a member of "Mickval Israel" to stand by you there.
Our new Hefra are about getting Isaac Lyon to print their constitution and it will require some Hebrew type, but he has a parcel a proof of which I en-close with the size of the type, they lack the Hebrew to wit the Hebrew Hebrew all the final letters and the stops I should like you to send me about 12 of each of the above if you can get them which will complete the lot Mr Lyons has in case you cannot get them, he wants you to get a small font of small pica say to the amount of two or three dollars, if you can get the size like the sample he would rather have them, whatever expence may attend the execution of this order Mr Mailert will forward to you, nothing more but remain as ever yours truly
Jacob Ezekiel
