Autograph letter written by Joshua I. Cohen to Isaac Leeser on May 13, 1849, from Baltimore. The letter, spanning 2 1/2 pages (8 x 10 inches), discusses personal matters, including the arrival of a friend, Henry, from Norfolk; concerns about postal expenses and a parcel's delivery; inquiries about a Hebrew character; and news about Mr. Rice's resignation from the synagogue and his plans to open a store. Cohen's small handwriting, which includes some Hebrew words, is described as difficult to decipher. The letter is signed 'Your friend C.' but is definitively identified as Cohen's through comparison with a photostatic copy of an 1848 letter with his full signature. The back sheet of the letter serves as a cover addressed to Leeser, showing the postal surcharge. The letter is accompanied by photostats of his Letter of 1848 to Leeser.
