Rev. Isaac Leeser
Dear Sir
I avail myself of Mrs Cohen's return to Philadelphia to send you for
2 Daily Prayers
@ 2.50
$5.

$30.70
Thirty dollars seventy cents in all including the usual commission allowed me by my father for the sale of his Edition. I have not yet received the amount of any of the above except the Bible but I would not trust the Post
and Mrs Cohen saves you 50 or 75 cents express. I regret I cannot forward you any Occident subscriptions—people are not over ready to pay these, or their dues for books. The Bible had been paid for some time, but I waited to forward so small an amount.
I am obliged to you for your congratulations on my having received a title and a third son the Hebrew I trust and pray. I did not send the article to the Messenger but some friends or the Editor wrote it. I am not a correspondent of that most creditable sheet, and truth I am not quite Miss nancified? yet.
I could not yet speak to Miss John Levey about the prayer Books, but will do so at an early opportunity. She has been sick. John Levey did not die a rich man.
They are about establishing a Polish or German Synagogue here Hebrew. The members are a nice lot—what Charles Dickens would call very pretty young man for a nice tea party. I may, perhaps write you more of this anon.
I do not know whether I have charged correctly for the Daily Prayers. I paid one dollar 25 cents express charges for Rogauds Books & Occidents
Please let me know whether I am to charge it to him.
With best wishes I remain
Yours truly
