Letter from Henry Nathan to Isaac Leeser, February 19, 1857

Description

Letter from Henry Nathan to Isaac Leeser, written in Curaçao on February 19, 1857. Nathan explains that he will remain in Curaçao until his brothers-in-law, the Lindos, write to him from Australia, as he finds the climate of the United States too harsh for his health. He thanks Leeser for a previous letter and requests that Leeser obtain and have a small bible richly bound as a bridal gift. The bible should have the letters EAJ printed on the back and be sent to Dovale & Co. for forwarding.
