Letter from Isaac N. Cardilo to Isaac Leeser, August 18, 1851

Description

Isaac N. Cardilo writes to Isaac Leeser from Charleston, South Carolina on August 18, 1851, to return proof sheets of a manuscript with corrections. Cardilo expresses his thanks for Leeser's promptness and impartiality. He addresses Leeser's remarks on the controversy between Mr. Poznanski and Rev. Dr. Eckman, asserting that any flaws in Leeser's argument stemmed from faulty premises rather than unfairness. Cardilo praises Leeser's spirit of truth and tolerance. A postscript notes a perceived omission in the original manuscript, which Leeser has seemingly corrected.
