Mr. Isaac Leeser
Dear Friend—
Hardly anything of any interest has transpired since my last Letter, which might serve You as a Matter of News; however I will drop a few Lines to you, to inform you of a Ball to be given by the “Hebrew Benevolent Society,” on next “Purim” which promises so far to be a fine affair; a large number of tickets have already been disposed, and the managers make active preparations to get up a Ball praiseworty of the society; the tickets are sold at $10. The Emani El Congregation had drawn several plans for a synagogue, & have chosen one, & are now about giving out proposals; the plan prescribes the Gothic style, & when finished will be one of the finest synagogues in the United States; the Building will be about 50 x 80 feet. “Mazos” will be sold at 22¢ pr. pound The baking of it will shortly be begun.
Mr. & Mrs. Roggenburger give their best Respects to you; & Hoping this will find you in good spirits & Health
I remain yours Truly
Cauffman H. Meyer
P.S. You will have recd a Letter from the sec. of the Em. congregation about a chason & the advertisement
