Letter from Samuel Piza to Isaac Leeser Regarding the Occident and Paper Quality, January 18, 1853

Description

Letter from Samuel Piza to Isaac Leeser regarding the quality of paper used in a new edition of a publication, possibly the Occident. Piza expresses concern about the inferior quality compared to a previous edition and requests that the paper quality be improved without additional cost. He also discusses his limited ability to promote Leeser's periodical due to low interest in Judaism in his community. Piza provides instructions for the shipping of the publication, and asks that no name be stamped on the cover of the set ordered for A. H. Moro. The letter includes a postscript with further instructions regarding the ordering of a publication. The letter is written in English and includes a wax seal.
