Letter from A. I. H. Bernal in Louisville to Rev. Leeser in Philadelphia, March 8, 1859
This full 8" x 12" page letter, dated March 8, 1859, was written by A. I. H. Bernal in Louisville to Rev. Leeser in Philadelphia. It details the difficulties Bernal faced running the Sabbath School due to interference from Gerstle (likely A. Gerstle, a lay leader at K. K. Adas Israel). Bernal, the teacher at Congregation K. K. Adas Israel in Louisville, mentions sending a catechism with underlined passages objected to by Gerstle, but approved by the moderator, B. H. Gotthelf. Bernal also notes that only one father and son observed the Sabbath out of 15 confirmed the previous year.
