Challenge to Isaac Leeser's Account of E. Marcussohn

Description

Letter from ElRm Gregor[?] to Isaac Leeser, written in New York City on October 5, 1852. The letter concerns an article in the October issue of *The Occident* about E. Marcussohn, who allegedly denied statements made in the August issue by Rev. J. C. Davis of Montgomery, Alabama. The writer disputes the veracity of Marcussohn's letter, stating that no such letter was received by the editor of the *Jewish Chronicle*. The writer asserts that Marcussohn either publicly converted to Christianity or was not the person who served as minister in Montgomery. The writer concludes by stating their intention to expose the truth of the matter, and that either Marcussohn or Leeser has been dishonest.
