Gentlemen:
It is, as you all know, a laudable feeling, to be in the possession of the good opinion of our fellow-beings; how much more must this be the case with a person who had held a public trust, to be assured that he has acted so as he elicit the approbation of his constituents. It has now happened that up to this date I have not been honored with a certificate from your honorable body such as I think my long public service merits; I would therefore be indebted to you to obtain at the earliest possible moment such an expression of your kind opinion as I could exhibit to all the world as the evidence that my long public service as the minister of your Congregation have met with your approbation.
Respectfully yours,
Isaac Leeser
