Description
Letter from L. Elias in Columbia, South Carolina, to Isaac Leeser in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, dated September 21, 1852. Elias writes to Leeser requesting the Occident, a publication Leeser edited. Elias expresses concern about the lack of a properly qualified Shohet (ritual slaughterer) in his community and the resulting sale of non-kosher meat. He includes a seal removed from meat sold as kosher, highlighting the deceptive practices. Elias plans to visit Philadelphia in a few weeks to purchase prayer books.
