London June 16th AM 5632
My dear & Revd Sir
Although nearly if not quite five years have elapsed since I had the honor of carrying on a correspondence with you respecting the affair of Mrs Costas unfortunate marriage with that apostate Barny Costa Yet I am in hopes that it is still fresh in your memory and that I shall be able to rekindle that sympathy in your bosom you evinced then as the time is now near for action. Had the Revd Doctor Artom done what I conceive to be his duty by giving me his sanction of my becoming the [Hebrew] in accordance with your arrangement the matter would have been finally settled She would have been a free woman and at liberty to have united herself to some other man that would have been better partner than that villian [Hebrew] You can understand that the matter has been in suspense ever since
But now by the [Hebrew] some men in your city have arose who have taken his case in hand. Have not alone bestirred themselves in every way possible to
assist her to be released from the clutches of her unworthy husband but have provided for her passage from London to Philadelphia with the most friendly advice and instruction as to what she should do in every way connected with her voy-age She leaves England on the 20th Inst in the City of Antwerp so her arrival may be calculated on two or three days after this comes to hand
I must not omit to mention the names of the gentlemen that are so anxious to serve an ill [?]sid woman and if possible to permit that miscreant that has forsaken his God and his wife and child. Mr R Cohen S[?] M[?] of South Str Mr Hunt a Mr Jacobs and a Mr Rob-inson My own object has been all this time as she is yet a very young woman [Hebrew] which I hope please God we shall succeed in I therefor trust Dear Sir that if it is in your way to lend an helping hand
when she arrives in your city that you will do it Nay I feel confident that you will if it be only for the same reason that has actuated myself I trust in God that after all the anxiety that has been felt and the trouble that has been taken that the result will be favorable and entirely in accordance with our most sanguine expectations
I am Dear & Revd Sir
Yours Respecty
