Letter from L. H. Levingston to Isaac Leeser;May 25, 1860

Letter from L. H. Levingston of Bethania, North Carolina, to Isaac Leeser in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Levingston apologizes for a delayed payment for Leeser's Bible translation, Catechism, and Dias' letters. He encloses a ten-dollar bill and comments on his initial impressions of the Bible translation, expressing hope for clearer explanations of certain prophecies. He also mentions returning a book, Kol Yaakov, and requests a missing issue of *The Occident*. The letter is written in a somewhat informal style, with Levingston acknowledging his less-than-perfect English and limited time.
