Revd I Leesor
Sir
I frequently feel an inclination to correspond with your use-ful magazine on matters connected with religion and the public procee-ding of congregation affairs, which take place within our sphere
Our object is that such communications be only used when an opportunity presents itself. I notice this perceiving you have an agent in this city. I should much wish to know throug Mr. N Matyer whither such communications will be acceptable.
The Revd. Dr. Wise of Albany has been invited to attend at the consecration of our new Synagogue which is to take place the 14th Sept. Int. We are also informed that he will be the guest of Mr. Elias Mayors, this latter gent. and a party are exerting their influence to establish a school for the purpose of Educating the children of our persuasion. The Laws of God and the duties resulting therefrom, in conjunction with the Charterd Talmud Yelodim of the Baai Jeshurun. It is intend to vest the government of the school in the hands of the Red Dr. Wise, who is also to be created the the spiritual Instructor of the joint congregation, Bnai Jeshurun and Bnai Israel, and to preach every Sab. alternately in each of their Synagogues, the move is a good one, such a union would materialy lighten expenses, but Dr. Wise has not the shadow of a chance of ever being allowd to deliver a single discourse in our Synagogue, much more to have an offical appointment we have great reason to believe that the Dr. will be the successor of the Rd I. Rosenfelt with the K. K. B. J. their principal leaders declare that Dr. Wise has done more good already in Albany than any man in this country.
I am Sir
yours very Respy
Saml. Bruel
