To the Rev. I. Leeser.
My Dr. Sir,
When you have leisure I would like if you would answer the following questions
What were the opinions of the Jews about the time of Christ as to insanity?
If they believed the insane to be possessed by spirits, of what nature did they suppose the spirits to be?
If you could refer me to any work that I could read that would give the information it would be deemed a sufficcient answer; and by doing so you will oblige
Your obe'dt Servt.
P. Walker
