Letter from Hester Rothschild to Isaac Leeser Regarding Publication of Meditations and Prayers, February 16, 1866

Description

Letter from Hester Rothschild to Isaac Leeser concerning the publication of a revised edition of Rothschild's *Meditations and Prayers*. Rothschild requests Leeser to withhold publication and any further announcements of the revision until she can review it. She notes that the manuscript of the first edition was approved by Rabbi Dr. Adler and that she and another gentleman carefully revised the last English edition. She appeals to Leeser's sense of fairness, citing the lack of international copyright but emphasizing moral obligation, and requests the removal of the phrase "corrected and revised by Isaac Leeser" from advertisements and the work itself.
