London ? 23. '56
My dear friend Mr. Leeser
Will you inform me, at what price you can deliver say one or two thousand copies of your small Bible in sheets, as binding is cheaper here than with you. I think your prospectus ? $1— I believe they could be used here at about 5. shillings to 5 shillings & sixpence English currency, & the Exchange being in your favor & the freight by sailing vessels not heavy & are in hopes of getting you an order. Your agent here has sold out what you sent but the price is considered exhorbitant. Let me hear fully from you in this &

any collateral ? at, and write me in such manner as to enable me to hand your letter to some gentlemen here who may thereupon send you an order. Of course you will save all commissions in filling any order emanating through one and this, should become a part of your calculation. I thank you for the Occident sent. If I can serve you I shall do it, I have only seen Dr. Adler for a short time as my time is full occupied Wishing you health and peace of mind I am
as ever yours very truly
G Kursheedt
I see the Occident comes to ? Moses so you need not send me more
