Vincennes, Ind. Augt. 12. '56
Dr Sir. I had one of your Seriale Bills last winter-and the other day, without much reflection-gave it to a friend. I do not remember the price, but I enclose five dollars. please send me two copies. if the price is more, please trust me to send you the balance, which I will do immediately or when I send the Subscription for the occident.
Wrap up in strong paper, direct plain, & send by Adams Express.
Some time since I recd a copy of Phillipeons? Development from London, and read it with great satisfaction. I should like to know how you count Dr. P. is he orthodox or not? Count him as you may. I feel much that that work can only tend to elevate the reputation of Judaism with all Jewish men, and that it would be read by and would benefit the American Port. Jews; who like my self have known but little of the faith

except its forms &c—nothing of its principle objects & tendencies &c.
I have lately seen a statement that the K?ites of the Crimea are ?, &c. The 1” edition of the Ks. in English that I have seen a was is Travels in Russia &c by Dr. Clark about 1805. We can put the book in ?. But only 5 or 6 have since there was a settlement of Ks. in the neighborhood of Bagdad. Who were Jews by descent undoubtedly and if you wish it I can give you a refrence? to the authority—it is from Scotch Mission any work in which I Saw it & can again send it.
On the notes in your large ? more fall than is His ? ??
Very respectfully
Saml. Judah.
Rev. Isaac Leeser.
