Mr M Jacobs of Athens made complaint to me in regard that he has received but 2 No of his Occidtent & has subscribed at the time when you were in our city last news we have but little our congregation is coming on slow although our Hebrew Mr I Schatz is well beliked & fully deserves it, He is a gentleman that haves? a good caracter but he is not

able to Legtur which is very much wanting in a place like ours. I have a great trouble to get Hebrew on Sabath & the fact is if they should not improve in a short time in religious feeling I fear nothing will remain but the name. My intention is to move to your city next fall, where I hope to hear your valuable Legtures on many occasion. I do it also more on account of my children as I wish to rase them like Jews, I am satisfied in our place, there never will be done anything to our children please let me hear from you soon Mrs Mayer sends her best respects to you also Mrs Lambert. and accept the same from your most truly
Isaac Mayer
