Letter from Philip Vallentine to Isaac Leeser Regarding Copyright for a New Edition of the Pentateuch and Haphtorahs

Description

Philip Vallentine writes to Isaac Leeser from London requesting permission to use Leeser's translation of the Pentateuch and Haphtorahs in a new, inexpensive edition. Vallentine assures Leeser that he will compensate him for the use of his work and name, despite the lack of a copyright treaty between the U.S. and England. He proposes including the following wording: "The Rev. Leesers version with the kind permission of the author." The letter is written on three pages across two sheets.
