St Thomas 9 Sep 1846
My Dr Mr. Leeser
A great many of our children have been neglected since I was forced from the Sunday School, the parents declining to send them under the existing regulations of the present school. I have altho' urged, declined forming one for these who do not receive the benefits, as I did not wish to come into contact with the opposite party, finding however that the children were really suffering, & at the particular solicitation of one of our most Respectable & influential members (who unhappily (was in Europe when the differences took place) having a large number of children, that really require the advantage of Religious instruction–have promised him to re-commence & intend doing so as soon as I shall receive from you the following books which I require.
36 Pyher[?] & catechisms
36 cahiev[?]–24 Bible questions, by Miss Peixotto &
12 of your Catechisms; I beg that you will

send them with all haste. Wishing you many happy holy days I am my Dr Sir Yours Truly
