Rev. Isaac Leeser
Philadelphia
Dear Sir.
I have been requested to forward you the bridal cards which I have the pleasure of enclosing here„with. The nuptials of my sister were celebrated last week.
There has lately appeared in our paper an un„warranted and unbecoming attack on Mr. Myers on account of his friends' using the title of “Rev. Dr.” before his name. The Representatives of our congregation immediately deemed it their duty to speak in Mr. Myers' vindication. According to an article in the Chronicle the title Morenu Rab means Dr. of the Law; can therefore that of Dr. be used with all correctness? And, by the way, as you have seen Mr. Myers' writings, I would, if you do not consid„er improper, ask your opinion of their merits.
I am, Rev. Sir,
Truly yours,
David M. Pizal
