Pittsburg Sept. 27th 1852
Rev. Mr. Isaac Leeser
Philadelphia
Dear Sir!
Since so much has been said and as I find even falshoods, by some slanderous tongues, about the polish Con-gregation, as once remarked in your columns as still existing in the members at their last meeting wished me as their Sec'y to make you aquainted with the present position of the Hebrew called Hebrew. We consist of twelve actual members and have a synagogue with Sepher and all other necessities, where we have met Rosh Hashanah & Jom Kipur and besides electing at our last meeting Mr. N. Eisendrath Parnass Mr. L. Juteur Treas. & L. Jaroslawski Sec. we have also elected Mr M. Marcussohn who was on his journey to Cleveland, and visited our place of worship during his stay over Jom Kipur, as our chasan and Shochet, and Mohul. We would thank you very much for the benefit of the readers of your valuable paper

to mention these facts in your next number. We hope and trust with the assistence of the Rev. Mr. Marcusson as our spiritual guide, that we will prosper, and continue to exist for the benefit of the rising generation, and for the diffusion of the principles of Judaismus and the God of Israel will grant us his blessing.
Yours very Respectfully
Leopold Jaroslawski
The above letter I wrote to comply with your wish expressed in your May number, we also wish to remark, that we fully cherish your sentiments of yours from September, as nothing ever has been said or done by either of our party to prove injurious to our faith, and vindi-cate our actions, since you will be well aware that it is not difficult to misre-present any one behind his back. I am though fully convinced, that no falshood could prejudice your sound judgment.
