Three-page letter written by Joshua I. Cohen to Isaac Leeser from Baltimore, MD on August 2, 1848. Cohen discusses a recent dinner with Mr. S., a visit from Mr. S. to Washington, D.C., his own summer vacation, and a young woman visiting Philadelphia from Canada. He also inquires about Leeser's progress on his proofreading and requests information about Hebrew inscription forms for tombs used by the Portuguese, mentioning Mr. Rice's involvement in his Hebrew studies. The letter further details family news, including the vacation of his daughter Rachel, Eddy's vacation at Norfolk, and Mr. Rice's role in his studies.
