Philada. Feb. 11/62
Rev Mr. Isaac Leeser
Dear Sir
Noticing in this mornings inquirer and answer to your article of this week and thinking that I could give you a little information on the subject, I thought it best to addres a few lines to you in regard to it. One of the two adults that was baptized in 1858, I was acquainted with, this young Man lived with the Rev. Dr. Newman, for the space of three months at the Doctors expense who fitted him out with a new suit of clothes and pocket money; at the end of which time he was baptized, then the Doctor gave 100 Dollars and a letter to recommendation to the firm of Bunn? Raiquel & Co.
who sold about $150 worth of goods on Credit after this he swindled them all out of their money and goods, the name of this young man now escapes me but I think if it is necessary I can ascertain it. Hopeing these few lines may be a source of information to you in order to carry on your controversy I remain yours respectfully
