New York April 12th 1858
My dear Mr Leeser
Your esteemed favor of 29th ultimo duly came to hand; as did also the Package of Books— the contents of which were distributed strictly in accordance with your instructions. M. S. Friend declined taking the Occident to his address, saying he was not a subscriber, and I regret to say, Boyds carrier returned one Number from which he had lost the direction and it is impossible for me to tell to whom it belongs, although I will endeavor to find out Mr B. Cohen has paid his bill of $6. as has also a Bijin paid his of $2.50.
I send by Adams & Co. the package received last month from J. Hart Senr of Charleston, having found no private opportunity to which I could send it.
I have read the last number of the Occident with unusual interest, more particularly the portions relating to your good self personally. I had not previously any just conception of the extent of your persecutions by Secret for who seem to have had no scruples as to the means used to inflict injury & insult. I hope however you will soon triumph over them all and make them bite the dust.
With kindest regards to Mrs Cozens & the young ladies.
I remain Dr Sir
Yours sincerely
Hanford
