Letter from Leopold Jaroslawski to Isaac Leeser, October 18, 1852

Description

Jaroslawski defends Marcusson against accusations of bribery and conversion, detailing interactions with missionaries and criticizing their methods. He describes a missionary, Avery, who visited him, claimed success in conversion, and then did not return. He discusses the motivations of missionaries, asserting that their actions are driven by money and a desire for conversions rather than genuine concern for Jewish people. He notes that those who criticize Marcusson are driven by self-interest and that Marcusson is not influenced by monetary considerations. He closes by hoping his account will be published to inform the public.
