St Thomas 24 May 1853
Revd Mr Leeser
Phila
My Dr Sir
I wrote you a short time since introducing Dr Haas to your attention in the letter I informed you that our Corelig=ionist Cap Rothschild had received the Knighthood of Da? our King for the ability he had shown as charge from the Dominican government to the Danish court for the pur=pose of making a treaty with the parties—
I have since (on the 12)
of July been appointed by the government of these Islands pl Stadshaupment?; & on the 12 of the present month elected by my fellow citizens a member of our Burgher or town council
The most pleasing part of the latter honor is that my colleagues 5 in number have in respect to my conscientious convictions attend or changed the day of meeting from Saturday which was the day of meeting always to Thursday
Now I will ask the favor of you to give this a place in the Occident not letting it
appear that it came from me. Also to pay a handsome compliment to my colleagues of the Burgher Council for the liberality of feeling & respect of conscientious convictions, put the article in your usual good stile & remb remember that this is the second time I have been fortunate enough to have public days appointed to be held on our Sabbath changed to days of the week.
I am Dr Sir
Yours Truly
