Curacao 11th Septr. 1852
Mr. Isaac Leeser
Philadelphia
Dear Sir!
I last had this pleasure on the 27th Ulto: since then I have received yours under date 2nd Augt. together with the “Occidents” of that month, and the nine numbers of Augt. & Septe. 1851, these have arrived at a good time to enable me to make the collections for the same. I have shown the page of your Bible to several of our Members, all like the print Hebrew. I have therefore to request of you to send me a few extra copies to those subscribed for in your prospectus, as I am sure to dispose of them, I would recommend a few unbound and a few bound neatly. I am in hopes of soon giving you a more favorable report of our subscribers for your Periodical, and shall use my efforts to influence our People to promote your labours.
I have noticed your remarks relative to your prayer books, and shall in conformity execute your wishes, as soon as a favorable opportunity offers itself, this vessel leaves this for ?oro under charter, which prevents me from fulfilling your order now. I shall try all in my power to procure and forward you the Citiora & Lulabion? as soon as possible, the Brig “Abrue”? is expected here

in a few days, by her I hope to be able to send them.
My brother in Law Nathan tenders you his best wishes, and joins me with my family Circle in wishing you many happy returns of our approaching Holy days, with best wishes for your health & happiness.
I am very truly
Yours
Moses Lindo
