A letter from Henry Goldsmith in New York City to Isaac Leeser in Philadelphia, dated October 14, 1852. Goldsmith discusses a Hebrew school in Greene Street, New York, and requests pricing information from Leeser for the purchase of 50-100 unbound Hebrew books. He also asks Leeser to copy three advertisements from the *Asmonean*.

This letter from L. Moscacher[?] to Isaac Leeser describes the Hebrew Congregation Beth Israel of Philadelphia. It details the congregation's founding five years prior, its growth to fifty members, its quarterly business meetings, its officers (Mayer Stern, Isac Hartman, Abr. Hallamler[?], Hirsh Wallach, and Alex Rothschild), and its use of a rented hall for worship, with M. L. Strauss serving as cantor and shochet. The letter also mentions a Hebrew and English school with twenty-five students under Moscacher's care.
