Financial Report and Subscription Request to Isaac Leeser from J. Dyer, Galveston, February 21, 1867

Description

Letter from J. Dyer in Galveston, Texas to Rev. Isaac Leeser in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Dyer sends Leeser a sight draft for $1896.00, of which $16.00 is for subscriptions to *The Occident* for M. Koppel, I. C. Levy, I. W. Frank, and himself. He explains difficulties in procuring more subscribers due to competition from a coreligionist selling *The Messenger* and the preponderance of German and non-religiously inclined residents in Galveston. He also notes the lack of a synagogue. He includes a statement detailing the payment and balance due to Leeser, accounting for taxes. He concludes by requesting an acknowledgment of receipt of the draft.
