Letter from J. Peynada to Isaac Leeser, January 7, 1849

Description

A four-page letter from J. Peynada to Reverend Isaac Leeser, dated January 7, 1849. Peynada apologizes for the delay in responding to Leeser's letter and inquires about Leeser's health. The letter discusses the death of Mr. H. Belasstro, and critiques an article written by Mr. Goldberg in the Jewish Chronicle regarding Belasstro's death. Peynada also comments on other individuals and projects, including Mr. Hoga and a work on chronology, expressing concern about the lack of practical application of scholarly pursuits. The letter mentions Peynada's own contribution to the Occident, specifically a letter to Dr. McCourt. A significant portion of the letter is given over to reflecting on Belastro's death and the appropriate way to memorialize him.
