Wednesday, 13 Tebeth, (February), 1865.
Greetings to myfriend and the friend of the Most High:
I sent you four sheets of manuscript but there has been no answer. Today, I am sending you 22 sheets. I beg you for a quick re-turn of them. My conjecture about the Samaritans is found in the Ba'al 'Akeda, but without proof.
I am very much surprised not to find my article about the seminary nor the one about the Spaniards in the “Occident”. I was right that Illoway?, as some one told me today, has a great deal of conflict in New Orleans. His reports were pure inventions. Szold is the same kind of sloppy fellow, whom the false mi...... [sic] permitted to come there for his barmitzvah.... This Szold knows neither Hebrew nor German....... Shall I report to Pittsburgh ? I shall.... and ask why I did not go to Philadelphia. If you have acquaintances there, write to me about it... Unfortunately, my wife is sick. I am very confused (upset) my Esther takes up much of my time.
With respect,
Your very devoted,
Jonah Bondi
In the Jeshurun I am in the company of Luzzato, better than Szold, Wise and Illoway.

Mr. H. Nathan.
