Rev I Leeser Philadelphia!
Dear sir
The Rev. A. Ansel formely from Liverpool, died here on Sept 8 last. I am informed he has a brother & other relations in England living, for their information I would respectfuly request you (in as much the Occident circulates in England) to insert a Notice of his death in the next numbre of your valuable periodicle. He has been officiating as/in Hebrew “busosal” JE transliteration in Claiborne Ala for about 8 months; he came here to circumcise a child, was taken ill & after 8 days lingering he died here & was buried with all due honor in our burring ground. His Mohel instrument (all the property he left) is in my possession & are to be retained by order of the president as a memento for his child, which is now living at Buffalo N. Y. as Mr. Ansel informed me previous to his death.
I regret very much for not being able to remit you any money. I have not collecting a dollar since the last I remitit you, the scarcity of money is very great. the rivers are very low & not navigable & country peapol cannot come to our city Business of every dis? are all nearly sus?, but as soon ? I will remit at once. Respectfuly
Yours Truly
B M Emanuel
