One-half page autograph letter, initialed J.C., from Chicago, Illinois, dated June 24th, 1857, to Isaac Leeser in Philadelphia. The writer requests that the dedication of the new Kehilah Anshe Mayrif cemetery in Chicago, along with a related German news clipping from the *Deborah*, be included in Leeser's *Occident*. This letter is notable due to the rarity of early Jewish correspondence from Chicago, given losses from the Great Chicago Fire.
