My dear Sir
Enclosed the remainder of the Translation. I am not quite certain if any portion I now send you is already in yr possession—nor yet if in the first part I used the or English “you,” or stick to the oriental “thou” as I have done in this secd. Half.—I do not care which it is, so that it seems? alike thro' the whole translation—
In yr place I would not displace any thing relating to Judah Touro, to make room for this Translation. It will keep till next month. But in any case before you see to press have the grandeness to let one see a proof. I have in the former portion used “vision” for Hebrew. Upon second thought I think “revelation” is better. Please substitute it.
I trust you will not fail us on Thursday next ply?. According to present appearances it will be the crowning to do of the year.
Yours very truly
Mr Raphale
Rev I. Leeser
Ph.
P.S. If you send me a proof I will return it without fail the same day that I receive it.
