Memphis July 1 1860
Rev Isaac Leeser!
Rev Sir!
It is long that I have not received any lines from you. I suppose you are very busy, especially that as the day draws near when the board of delegates will reassemble. I wish, I could be present, but business etc with-holds me of enjoying the sight of men who still act in behalf of that time honored Judaism. I wonder sir! how it was and still is possible, that you could; fight our battles so long without retreating a single moment, after having been so often insulted by those renegades and so little supported by those for whom you appeared as champion. Is there no hope that you and the cause you represent will triumph? I wish I had the power to write with such facility as you have. I would assist you with all my might. Dear Sir if there will not be made a decisive step, those infidels will promulgate their nefarious doctrines, the people will swallow the gilded pill offered to them by the pseudo-doctors. I have tried and will still try to keep them out of our regions, though they have triumphed for a while. Wise is trying to get one of his emissaries here, and I believe he will succeed for the infidels stand on the lead now. I will write you all about it after a while. If you find it worthy of appearing in your valuable paper, insert the the following few words—Why do we hide it? - Identifier
