Letter from W. M. Engles to Isaac Leeser Regarding American Agricultural Mission near Jaffa, Philadelphia, June 25, 1854
A letter written by William Morrison Engles to Isaac Leeser on June 25, 1854, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Engles forwards letters concerning the American agricultural mission near Jaffa, including one from the son of Rabbi Jechiel Cohen to his father, who was on a fundraising mission in the United States. The letter is noteworthy for addressing Leeser as "Rabbi Leeser," and for its context within the larger story of 19th-century Jewish communities in Eretz Israel facing poverty and missionary efforts.
