Charleston April 11th 1849
Reverd. Isaac Leeser.
My Dear Sir
Your favr. of 9th Ult was duly reced. and be assured I have not been unmindful of your valuable suggestions. All the points in your circular are calculated to have an important bearing on the future dignity and distinctness of our holy religion but the congregation of which I am a member having taken ground differing so widely from the views con==templated by the proposed convention I can see no pros-=pect of our cooperation therefore cannot recom==mend a delegate being sent. And moreover, on a former occasion when all the Israelites of the city formd but one congregation, a similar suggestion was submitted from Philadelphia to a very full mee-=ting when by an almost unanimous vote it was re=solved that we could not coalesce. Still I am satisfied the effort is a very laudable one and if the association can be organized its measures must have a general and sater-=tory influence. You have my earnest prayer for its early consummation
You will please find enclosed twelve 25/100 the amt. Of your a/c as stated and let me add that I entertain no asperities towards Mr. Hart or any other person who may differ with me in opinion, and in future if you desire it I will settle with him Very respectfully yours truly
Joshua Lazarus
