23 February 1848
Rev Sir
I received in due course your favor of the 14th Inst.: I perceived the notice taken of the Retrospects in the February number of the Occident, and now hand you a circular containing notices of the work by the Press here which please insert at large in your April number of the Occident, and send your amount for the same to Messieurs Robinson and Jones of this City.
Mr Guthrie, the partner of Mr. Elias Mayer has kindly taken charge of this and of 50 Copies of the Retrospect: I feel obliged by your pronure[?] to bring them under the notice of your friends and shall be glad to see the work received in the Occident
I need not tell you who must have had sufficient experience of the fact, how much exertion must be used to preserve from loss there who engage in similar efforts as these on behalf of our people: As yet I am minus 2/3 d. the cost of printing the Retrospect but through the influence of Gentlemen like yourself I trust I shall not be a sufferer to any extent in the end: I have not sought to make money through this channel but I confess my inability to sustain conviniently any loss from it. I wrote Rabbi Lilienthall and the Revd Aurel Leo but as yet have not been favored with any reply—I am reverend Sir
Your obt. Servant
A A Lindo
Revd. I Leeser–

Revd. Isaac Leeser
Favored by
Mr. A. A. Guthrie Philadelphia
