Letter from Morris J. Raphall to Isaac Leeser Regarding a Translation, March 16, 1854
Description
Letter from Morris J. Raphall to Isaac Leeser discussing the translation of a text. Raphall inquires about whether Leeser already possesses a portion of the translation and asks about the usage of "you" versus "thou." He suggests not displacing anything related to Judah Touro to make room for the translation and requests a proof before publication. He also mentions a meeting on Thursday and uses "revelation" as a substitute for the Hebrew word חזון. The letter includes a postscript regarding the return of the proof.
