Letter from Theodore to Isaac Leeser, November 10, 1833

Description

Letter from Theodore in New York City to Isaac Leeser in Philadelphia. Theodore describes a tedious journey from New York to Philadelphia, details a successful sermon by Dr. Peixotto that raised $270 for their society, and discusses his delivery of letters to various individuals. A significant portion of the letter is devoted to Theodore's effusive feelings for an unnamed woman in Philadelphia, drawing parallels to the biblical story of Isaac and Rebekah. The letter mentions Moses E. Levy of Florida, who was departing New York the following morning, and includes greetings to various other individuals including Mr. Hart, Miss R., Miss Hortensia, Miss Pesoa, and Mr. Robert P Noah.
