Dear. Mr. Leeser.
Yesterday I forwarded an article for your approval &c and I remember now that in the Hurry of copying the last part I omitted to give the notes I enclose them. You can give what I send to the printer instead of the original page. The note about Laws of Divorce I think will apply to Sim Abraham last week, Mrs. Motta gave me some Spanish books belonging to old Mr Aziredo?, among them is the “Hoboth Hallebaboth” also in Spanish and in looking over it I found this passage. I referred to Dr. E. who has a copy in Hebrew and between us you have a “note” which strengthens the position you took in the Cleveland affair without saving you the trouble to answer him. If you have not a copy in Hebrew and want can use this one in Spanish. I will give it to you. I also can supply you with a sett of Rorsanna? & kippur and daily prayers (A Hazans copy with prayers for the whole year) also in Spanish. As I have three or four setts. Shall I send them if I can find a covenent oppty? I have also two copies of the Pentateuch in Spanish with copious notes in Hebrew from all the learned sciences?. Will you have one? one copy is enough for me.
I have not seen the sheet of your bible sent to M Serin? he is a little hurt I think that you have not written to him If you can spare time. you might write him a few lines my wife is not very well. She sends her kind regards. Mrs Motta tells me she has some money to send you and promised it
last week when I see her I will get it and remit what I have also I had no time to ?.
Yours sincerely
J. N. Carvalho
