A single-page letter written by Leopold Weiskopf in Charleston, South Carolina on May 28, 1868, to the estate of Isaac Leeser in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Weiskopf disputes a bill for a subscription to Leeser's *The Occident*, stating he only subscribed the previous year. He requests the bill and asks that the publication be stopped due to financial constraints. A penciled notation by the estate reads, “send bill as above / W.B.H.” The letter is referenced in *The Jews of South Carolina* by B. A. Elzas (1905), noting Weiskopf's service with Company D of the South Carolina Regiment of Reserves.
