Charleston May 27th 1830.
Revd Mr. Leeser.
Dear Sir,
Your favour with the accompanying Paper came safe to hand. I read your communication with much pleasure, your reply is inanswerable, and your quotations in support of your opinions pointedly appropriate. I doubt not your work will be read with interest by all denominations.
Mr. Harrison the bookseller who has kindly given publicity to your circular, informed me that should you send him a few copies he will dispose of them charging you only a commission. He further states, that many christians would purchase who are averse to have their names attached to a subscription paper. I cannot flatter you with an account of many subscribers, Nat Hart your friend obtained many who could have placed their names on my paper. Which by the by is just the same. I have shown him and others your communication in the Richmond Whig?— and they are all highly pleased.
as yet there are only three or four names to your circular, as the number will be small, I shall omit sending you the list at the time you mention.
I regret to learn the illness of Miss Etting, I hope she will recover— My Respects to all Friends and accept the wishes of
Your Friend
(In Haste?)
Jacob De La Motte
