Letter from Dr. Illoway to Rabbi Isaac Leeser Regarding Finances and a Purim Gift

Description

Letter from Dr. Illoway to Rabbi Isaac Leeser regarding the payment of money owed. Illoway explains that the trustees have agreed to send the money but wanted to be reassured before doing so. He requests that Leeser send a letter to the treasurers, Moses Bronner of Bronner and Seburg, to demand the payment. The letter also mentions a gift of a silver cup and money, valued at around $150, presented to Illoway by the Harmonia organization. The letter further touches upon Illoway's Hebrew letter in the "Occident" and his planned response to Einhorn regarding the origin of the concept of original sin. The letter is written in Yiddish and spans two pages.
