New York 30th Nov/60
Rev I. Leeser
Phila.
Rev Dr Sir!Your esteemed Letter and its inclosure I duly recd. & the latter I herewith return. I had to see Mr Goldsmith Dr Bondy & others which delayed my reply.
Our address left here several weeks ago. The one ? by Dr Bondi ? much revision & improvement, was numerously signed & by this time is—no doubt—in the hands of the venerable Rabbi. The general opinion is that under the circumstances we cannot with propriety sign a second address.
As to publishing a second Edition of Devotl. Exercises, I am as yet undecided. But should I make up my mind, I will assuredly address myself to you on the subject.
My thanksgiving discourse yesterday has caused some sensation & is published this morning in several of the dailies

I send you for insertion in the Occident if you think proper—a copy of the world which has it more correctly than the Herald &c. should you insert it please not to divide it. In the text it should be “The nations thank Thee O God” instead of “O Lord” as the papers have it
Very respectfully yours
M J Raphall Dr
