St Thomas 14 Sept 1857
Revd Mr Leeser
Phila
My Dr Sir
I received your favor of the 2d Dec
I was glad to find that the congregation of your late ministry had at length done the act of justice that they so long defined, by sending you a copy of the annal of the con? so improperly passid on you—on your part it is your duty to attend the Synagogue frequently, & thereby ? to

them that no truce of ill will exists.
I have collected 2 years subscription from three subscribers myself being one, & have sold the last set of the Pentateuch & daily & festival prayers, no more remain—my Son has sold the set of the Pentateuch received with the Bibles, the money for which will be paid later. I would recommend you to send him three sets of the Daily & Festival prayers, finely bound provided you can Invoice them at about $20 three sets of the

? like last & three sets of the Pentateuch they are now & then conquered after
Enclosed the Bank of St Thomas' Bell No 8235 at sight on J C Whitmore for $42—as payment in fall for
1 set of the Pentateuch $12
1 “ of D & F Prayer 12
2 year subscription of
3 subscribers to Occident 18
$42—
I regret I cannot prevail on our people to subscribe, those that are appertain to my family
Mrs W joins in kind regards & we beg you to also give them our friends the Florences
Yours truly
A. Wolff
I have collected £35 towards the testimonial to the late Lord Mayor of London D. Solomons
