Isaac Leeser's Declined Invitation to Speak at the Ladies' Home Association

Description

Letter from Isaac Leeser to Miss E. Bomeisler, secretary of the Ladies' Home Association, declining an invitation to speak on February 12th at the Portuguese Synagogue because of his past strained relationship with that congregation. He states that he would be willing to speak if he received written consent from the President and Adjuntor, or a majority of them, indicating their approval. He offers to suggest an alternative speaker if this consent is not obtained.
