Letter from Samuel to Isaac Leeser Regarding an Article on American Jews

A single-page letter (8 x 10 inches) written from Wilkes-Barre, PA, on August 8, 1867 (or possibly an earlier date, as the year is difficult to decipher), by Samuel to Isaac Leeser. The author expresses his interest in an article titled "THE JEWS" from the Episcopal Recorder of Wilkes-Barre and requests Leeser to republish it in the Occident, with or without commentary. Samuel highlights the article's candor and fairness, believing its republication would positively impact Jewish-Gentile relations. The reverse of the page serves as the cover, addressed to Leeser, and includes a postmark. The postmark indicates the letter arrived at the Philadelphia Post Office on August 8, 1867.
