Easton April 12/47
Mr I. Leeser
Revd Sir. I have been requested by the officers of the Easton Congregation to write to you about an affair touching the Hart family. They have a burial ground here, which they granted to the congregation to make use of and also to any stranger who should be a jew. The borrough not-long since passed a law that the owners of the property situate in the street where the our synagogue is, have to get pavements made. The calculation is, that a pavement in front of the burial ground would cost about 60 dollars. The congregation would therefore inform the Hart family of this new regulation and wish to hear their intentions. In want of proper information to whom to write about this you are respectfully desired to apprize some of the members of the family of what is stated above, and please to let us know as soon as convenient the arrangements they intend to make.
I have received your books some time ago, I shall also write to my brother about the subscription of the Occident.
I have the honor
to be yours respectfully
A. B. Arnold
Revd Mr. Isaac Leeser
