Rev Isaac Leeser
Dear Sir
I trust you will not misconstrue my words and ascribe to me false motives, if I respectfully ask you to discontinue sending the Occident to me.
My office is a very poorly paid one, and I cannot help it, I must re? it in every way possible.
I shall nevertheless continue to read the Occident. Being a member of the “Young men's ass'n” here, which keeps your periodical in its reading room, I shall not miss the opportunity to read the same.
I appreciate fully the decency and dignity of your paper, and the honesty and straightforwardness with which it is conducted. Would

to God, all our Jewish papers would in the same manner be decent and honest.
Not knowing exactly what balance I owe you, I would ask you to let me know the amount due you, and I shall hasten to pay my balance. Hebrew
I remain, my dear sir,
yours, very respectfully,
B. Felsenthal
