Description
Letter from John E. Price in Curaçao to Isaac Leeser in Philadelphia. Price discusses the delayed arrival of books and the resulting loss of subscribers. He reports on sales of prayer books and requests additional sets, specifying thin paper and unbound copies for easier binding. He expresses gratitude for Leeser's condolences on his wife's death and mentions an order for additional prayer books and a Pentateuch.
