Letter from Jas. P. Tyler to Isaac Leeser Regarding a Potential Introduction, November 11, 1833Letter from Jas. P. Tyler to Isaac Leeser Regarding a Potential Introduction, November 11, 1833

One-page letter written by Jas. P. Tyler of Richmond, Virginia, to Isaac Leeser on November 11, 1833. Tyler attempts to arrange an introduction between Leeser and his friend Alexander Campbell's daughter. The letter mentions Campbell's planned visit to Leeser's town and suggests Leeser would find Campbell and his daughter agreeable. A connection between Tyler and Leeser's uncle is also noted in other correspondence. The letter is notable for its unusual context, as none of the mentioned individuals explicitly appear to be Jewish, despite the letter being found among Isaac Leeser's papers.
