Felsenthal to Leeser Regarding Communication for the Occident

Description

Letter from B. Felsenthal to Isaac Leeser, written in Chicago, Illinois on March 30, 1865. Felsenthal encloses a communication for the Occident, a periodical, and comments on a topic he believes deserves consideration from the Jewish press. He uses an ironic tone and suggests that another contributor or editor might address the subject more seriously. The letter mentions a division within Judaism, referred to as 'sects', a point he states he is willing to defend.
