Letter from J. M. D'Solla to Isaac Leeser;September 17, 1863 Letter from J. M. D'Solla to Isaac Leeser;September 17, 1863

This letter expresses D'Solla's surprise and displeasure at how Leeser used his previous communication in a published article. D'Solla asserts that Leeser either should have published the letter in its entirety or rejected it, rather than selectively quoting portions. The letter argues for freedom of speech on religious issues and criticizes Leeser for presenting D'Solla's views out of context. D'Solla maintains he showed no personal disrespect to any Rabbis, focusing solely on arguments and opinions. He demands the publication of his full article, indicating that if it's refused, he'll publish it elsewhere. The letter mentions disagreements over interpretations of Jewish law and concludes with a plea for fairness and justice.
