Revd. Isaac Leeser.
Dear Sir.
Your letter, was handed to us a day or two ago by Mr. M. S. Isaacs. In answer we would say that it will ever be our desire to keep the good will of all men, but when attacked we must necessarily defend ourselves. In our reply to your article which to say the least if not so intended was calculated to dampen the prospects of young beginners we have said nothing which on mature re-flection we intend to take back. Respecting insinuations on your moral character we are at a loss to understand your meaning we have not as far as we can see mentioned your private

character. If you are determined to misconstrue our words we cannot help it.
Trusting that our relations will assume a more harmonious aspect We remain
A. S. Cohen & Co
P. S. The members of the firm are A. S. Cohen of the N. Y. Evening Express and Mr. L. Israel (well known to you.)
