Palmyra, Sept. 18th, 1851.
Dear friend:
I have written this article more than a month ago for you. An eye infection however prevented me to finish it sooner and copy it for you. At the moment I am vacationing and hasten to send it to you. I do not doubt that you will have to correct it. Very much so indeed. (But I am sure that this article will then be not unworthy of your journal and may be a seed grain for many a good decision.
I presume that you have received by now the bible and one sheet of Reggio's DENKBUCHLEIN. You would make me happy and honor him who deserves honor if you would print in one of your journals a literary biographic note concerning this great old man, with ever young spirit. I also sent you two journals (I don't have any more. I believe many more are in existence.) of a talmudic dictionary. I don't have any use for it. Maybe you care to have this work sent to you from Europe.
Sometime ago I asked you to design statutes (STATUTEN ENTWURF). The congregation for which I did that is a small one and poor one with a Bohemean rite (similar to the small Polish rite). This congregation now made some statutes for itself, will try them out for a while and after they have experience will draw them up anew with the aid of sample statutes and shape them properly. (28 members, $7.50 for seats for men and wife; 5. for single persons; 10¢ weekly contribution.
Well, good-bye dear friend, and allow the old wish, *KETIBA wa-ha-ti-ma tobah.
Most cordially yours,
ISIDOR BUSH
*Iscribed for good life.
Addressed: Mr. Leeser, Editor Occident, etc. Philada.
