My dear sir & friend
Permit me to thank you for your kind words concerning my marriage and to convey to you the deep respect entertained for you by the wife whom you do not now know but who I trust some day may have the gratification of being presented to you. Your remark concerning the ministry touches a very sacred spot. It would have been the consummation of my desire to fill a Jewish pulpit but consciousness, both of my ideal and my feelings, like a warning [?] heed me back, telling me that I could never be contented with myself,--therefore have I better contented myself with such service and ministration as has come naturally within my scope; and with God's help, whatever my surrounding's may be, Judaism as I have learned it will ever have an earnest supporter & upholder
--some little good I may accomplish, among our neighbors if not among my own people. I have a request to present you. It would please me very much to have your picture with your autograph, to place with some I highly cherish in my own little room in my new home, among my books and peculiar household treasures. I have a beautiful picture of Sir Moses Montefiore presented to me by the J. M. H. A. of this city and the other company will be equally pleasing to you. I mean of course such a portrait as you may have at hand. To night, my wife's first preparations of the 'Heagadoh, we shall have twenty at table; quite a test for a novice, but she is equal to it. I trust that your holydays may be peaceful & pleasant. With remembrance and regards to the members of your family
Very sincerely yours
