Circa 1850 envelope containing two full manuscript sheets and two quarter sheets of notes on errata in the Leeser Bible. The envelope is boldly inscribed "Leeser Bible Erratam" and faintly inscribed in pencil "Send to Dropsie" in a corner. The manuscript appears to be the work of Moses Dropsie. The materials include notes related to the identification and correction of errors in Isaac Leeser's edition of the Bible.

A letter from A. I. Isaacs to Sabato Morais, dated November 3, 1873, from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Isaacs returns proof sheets for Morais' sermon, which Isaacs has titled "The Judaism of the Present."

Printer's proof galley of a Hebrew commentary, folded in half, showing Hebrew text in a 4" column with hand-inked corrections and English and Hebrew marginalia. The right-hand column includes the capitalized word "Sabbath." Contains a footnote by Leeser, "to my readers," identifying the Italian author of the commentary. The marginalia and corrections are in Leeser's hand. This may be the only extant galley proof from any of Leeser's publications. Found with other Leeser papers and verified by Dr. Arthur Kiron and Bruce Nielsen at the Katz Center, University of Pennsylvania.
