Dear Sir, I have you annexed, statement of collections made on a/c Occident, as well as sales of Book's since last report together amounting to Fifty 35/00. Dols for which I hand you enclosed my check on Mechanics Bank New York less Exchange 25c for Fifty 10/00 Dolls. I am pleased to learn of the great progress you have made in the Bibles completion. I have no doubt it will prove the means of amply repaying you for all your labors bestowed in the publishing way. Many Christians are anxious to see the work, & I have no a number will be sold to them.
We have had two discourses delivered in our Synagogue by our Rev Mr. Jacobs in behalf of our suffering humanly in New Orleans Mr. Jacobs was the first Minister in our city who suggested

& carried out this mode of enlisting the feelings of our citizens towards the pecuniary aid of the people of our sister city ? but a very short notice was given through the papers, but omitted to be announced on Sabbath preceeding the discourse, which was to be on Sunday, & which omission & short notice combined prevented a great number from attending we secured one Hundred Dolls & remitted it to the ? society. Since then we have been solicited by the Benevolent Society of ? & we have from the 2d ? more to remit. So you must admit that our ? Hazan & Sec? has done some good by his example & precepts Little or but a small amt has as yet been collected from other ? I wish you would notice them ? above sealed in your next Occident for altho our congregation after the ? and dispersed circulary for aid to the several North & South the only response we ever got was your Ocd ? candlesticks which I suppose your trustees then, intended we should con? them into gold.

so it is. I promise myself the pleasure of soon seeing you perhaps spending the 2 days of yon ? in your city I wonder if Mrs Himman will have room to accommodate one? do you know our city remains? usually healthy, will produce an early business which compels me to leave home earlier than is my usual habit. I expect to be in your city on friday after eve of Roshanna
Hoping this will meet you in health if not in wealth
I am as always
your friend
Samuel Hart Sen
? & all the family join in remembrance
