Letter from Isaac Hart to Isaac Leeser, New Orleans, September 29, 1862

Description

Letter from T.O. and Isaac Hart of New Orleans to Isaac Leeser in Philadelphia. Hart writes that he was unable to pack Leeser's books himself and that the person who did so sent all that he found, including some books by Isaac Wise and a set of German prayers that were not Leeser's publications. Hart requests that Leeser return any books that do not belong to him. He expresses his hurt at not receiving *The Occident* and states his willingness to pay for it. A separate note discusses attendance at several synagogues in New Orleans during Rosh Hashanah, mentioning lectures given by Gutheim and Illoway and describing the Polish synagogue and cemetery. The letter mentions the Rampart Congregation's new cemetery wall and the purchase of family lots.
