Buffalo, Tuesday evening, 13th Ab, 5612
To my trusted friend, the very learned and accomplished Rabbi Isaac Leeser, long may he live, Amen.
My beloved, my friend,
At this time I shall not write at length, for I am heavy of speech and of tongue, and am not able to speak the Hebrew language in its purity. But, I come to let you know that I have received a brief letter from your High Honor, by the hand of Mr. Bernheimer. He told me that I really have no need of this trouble of going from house to house, and this way and that, to seek for subscribers to the Bible which is to be translated into English by your worthy self. I, therefore, write this letter to Your Worthiness to let you know that I, the least in the tribes of Israel, am ready to take from Your Honor one set, the price of which I shall send after the Rosh ha-shana that is approaching. I also desire a prayer book for holidays of the Polish ritual, if you have one. If so, please let me know before the Rosh Hodesh of Ellul coming.
In passing I cannot refrain to give you a small bit of news to be included in the Occident of the coming month;—
“Married by the __Isaac M. Slatky on the 18 Menahim* 5;612 ( August 3d 1852) Mr. Isaac Michael to Mrs. Hannah Tobias, both of the City of St. Louis Miss.
I have no further news.
He who seeks his peoples welfare, and who hopes for your answer,
Isaac Slatkin
Address — 134 Ellicott St., Buffalo N. Y.
I hope that Your High Honor will send me a letter without any delay.
flowery Hebrew—tis none too pure
