Phila March 9th 67
My dear Mr. Leeser
Well, you are a pretty man; why do you not answer my questions? Now just read over all my letter to Savannah & answer all my questions particularly regarding Mr. Falke's? order. Mrs Levin's Bible had been lettered Mrs. Nathaniel Levin before your letter directing otherwise was received, so, it cannot be altered now; you should be more particular about

about these things.
Now as I regard her Moises's meditations & prayers, — first you directed that Burlack? should send him one; this was done; the you directed me to send him four medita-tions & Prayers, but I sent only three of course; if he wants another I will send it to him. As regards the book which Miss Joseph requires, I know nothing a-bout it, as this I did not read her letter through (not wishing to pry into other people's love affairs sharing enough to do, to take care of his own.) so please let me know what

books she wishes, & it shall be sent around to Mr Moses. The Occident is out at last; some of Jones machinery broke down & delayed it for a day or so; Mamma & I did the work up quickly; she pasted & I directed & the work was all done up in less than 2 ½ hours.
We have received a letter from Uncle Sam; he views the action of Congregation the darkest light & seems to announce all hope; do not mention this I beg; stop at Mobile? if poss-ible on your ?; at least write to them & let them know where you are (entre nous?.) Very few books have been sold

since you left; Mr Hayes bought a plain prayer book Mr. Gutheim has sent a check for $82. & Dovale has sent $59 from Mr. De Casseres; I will acknowledge receipt of both tomorrow — The girls were here this afternoon, they go to Levin's on Sunday, Mamma has purchased beautiful dress-es for them. Let us know how your health is when you next write. Mamma has a terrible cold & is feeling very miserable indeed; we are kept continually busy attending to your affairs. The girls tell us that Mr A J. Jones wrote to you telling you not to come home until you have recovered.
We all send love to you & hope that you will write soon.
Yours, E L Cozens
