Rev. Isaac Leeser
Philadelphia
Dear Sir.
If not too late please send with the March Occidents three copies of your Daily Prayers—Two of the larger 8 mo size & 1 of the 12 mo. edition. If too late for the March Occidents, and you have no other opportunity, the parties wanting them might wait till April.
I am much engaged just now and have no leisure to write you at any length. I have a lecture to prepare for the natural history society who have lately moved in a fine new building In witness whereof I have sent you a circular wherein you may see I am booked for next week. The opening was a very pleasant occasion.
I trust to have the pleasure of writing you soon and with best wishes for your health and welfare Please hand enclosed to Mr Wm Florance. I am sincerely sorry for his and your loss. Have you any numbers of the Asmonean you would feel disposed to part with to complete a set.
I am Yours truly
Abraham de Sola

Dear Sir.
The Parcel of Asmoneans Prayers & Occidents duly came to hand. For former receive my thanks. The nos only contained two I required, should you have any more turning up at this time of Hebrew post them s. a. p. instead of learning them. I only write you now to advise you to send in several extra copies of your No 1 new series, as it is only by sending them out extensively that I can hope to get you new subscribers. I have already given more to Mr Abm Joseph of Quebec who happened
to be here. He will subscribe, to send him direct his nos. I mailed for you the nos. you requested. We have of course to prepay one cent postage from one part of the Province to the other. I will endeavor to make some collections for you in Medianos Pesach. Tell them I am pretty well engaged. Wishing you Hebrew
I am yours truly
Abraham de Sola
You had better send in your extra copies of No 1 by mail. - Identifier
