Letter from Hester Rothschild to Isaac Leeser concerning the publication of a revised edition of Rothschild's *Meditations and Prayers*. Rothschild requests Leeser to withhold publication and any further announcements of the revision until she can review it. She notes that the manuscript of the first edition was approved by Rabbi Dr. Adler and that she and another gentleman carefully revised the last English edition. She appeals to Leeser's sense of fairness, citing the lack of international copyright but emphasizing moral obligation, and requests the removal of the phrase "corrected and revised by Isaac Leeser" from advertisements and the work itself.

Philip Vallentine writes to Isaac Leeser from London requesting permission to use Leeser's translation of the Pentateuch and Haphtorahs in a new, inexpensive edition. Vallentine assures Leeser that he will compensate him for the use of his work and name, despite the lack of a copyright treaty between the U.S. and England. He proposes including the following wording: "The Rev. Leesers version with the kind permission of the author." The letter is written on three pages across two sheets.
