Letter from Louis Spanier to Isaac Leeser;August 04, 1850 Letter from Louis Spanier in Albany, NY, to Isaac Leeser in Philadelphia, PA. Spanier requests Leeser to publish a proclamation in his paper, the Occident, which had already been printed in the Asmonean. He also asks Leeser to get experts to consider the proclamation and comment on it, as he plans to hold a congregational meeting to discuss objections to Dr. Wise. Spanier expresses concern about the lack of awareness among the Jewish public regarding the importance of these issues and stresses the letter's private nature. The letter is written in both English and German.
