Letter from Thomas J. Moise to Isaac Leeser, January 18, 1851

Description

Letter from Thomas J. Moise of Charleston, South Carolina, to Reverend Isaac Leeser in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Moise writes that he has collected money owed by I. I. Cohen and is remitting a check for $27.00 for three subscriptions. He expresses his concern about collecting from Lewis Levy and suggests that Leeser write to him. Moise comments on the slow growth of his subscription list due to his own lack of attention, his family's well-being, a Mr. Hart from Philadelphia, and the visit of Jenny Lind. He also discusses local community matters, such as the upcoming election of the president of the local congregation, appointments of trustees, Reverend Rosenfeldt's acceptance of a position in California, and a controversy between Dr. Eckman and Mr. Posnanski. Finally, he notes not receiving the January edition of the Occident and asks for a duplicate copy. The letter includes a wax seal.
