New York Novembre 30th 1847
My dear Mr Leeser
At last I have obtained the Care of Naidwan ([?] to Mr Ansel by D Winkler of London) from the Custom House and forward the same this day to you address for [?] & for Express. I hope it will reach you in safety
The appraisers at Custom &c. have placed the value of the Goods much below Mr Winklers valuation, they making it only £28. besides charges. And the whole amt of expenses, including Duty Bonds Permits &c &c in $43.90/100. The appraiser who valued the Goods says if they cost £41.10.8. they were purchased at enormously high prices. And thinks there must be some mistake in the figures. For contents of the case appear to be principally Razors. but as to there value or quality I am totally unacquainted. I have no doubt however but that they can be sold
I regret that I was compelled to leave here without serving you but having been sent for I had no alternative. I shall probably have to [?] here all the wish. Should you have anything requiring attention here, please address me as heretofore.
I hope Mr Cozens and little Ella are well. Please give my love with a kiss to each. And believe me as ever
Sincerely Yours
[?]
Revd. Isaac Leeser
