Rev. Mr. Leeser Philadelphia
Dear Friend
I send you my lecture of Hebrew last with the prayers it is now the last molestation to translate it and publish it in the next numbre of the Occident. I wish it, because some very pious jews here and abroad try unmanly to oppose the union of Israel and they do so by prejudicing the people against me and my words, so they said I have spoken against Hebrew to have Hebrew on Sunday Hebrew. I wish you publish this lecture in your next numbre, and prefer a note to it, that this lecture was spoken Hebrew in N.Y. on behalf of the convention, rather none will read it. If I am done here, I go out west to act on the business in Cincinaty Oh. though I am sore afraid it is in vain, since all the Hebrew heroes are against it
I am respectfully yours
Dr Wise
N. Y. Sunday morning
P. S. I reopened this and took out the lecture for a friend who wants to see and translate it, with promise that it shall in faillibly be send to you by him before the 10-12th of this month.
Yours
Rev Mr Isaac Leeser
