Rev & Dear Friend
I send you herewith a brief history respecting the grand metamorphose of the Tif? Israel Kabal into a demi-semi-Gentile and Jew church. Before coming to preliminary trial of the rejunction? last Wednesday the Trustees stepped forward & compromised with me indemnifying me for my loss of seats—I took by the advice of my lawyer one of the best in the State half of the original cost of my seats & have quitted the Kabal forever. I shall shortly unite myself with the old Congrega-tion Anslie Chesed and trust to accomplish something there, worthy the good cause. If you cannot insert the enclosed article please send it to the Jewish Messenger as I am determined to have a public statement made of the affair. I hope you will find room in your valuable journal. More anon In haste
Yours truly B. F. Peixotto
