Letter from A. S. Cohen & Co., of the New York City-based *Jewish Record*, to Reverend Isaac Leeser in Philadelphia. The letter defends the firm against what it considers to be a mischaracterization in Leeser's article, denying any personal attack on Leeser's moral character. It expresses a hope for more harmonious relations in the future and identifies the firm members as A. S. Cohen (of the *New York Evening Express*) and Mr. L. Israel.

Meldola writes to Leeser regarding a woman who wishes to find a Hazan and who has spoken to Mr. Morais. Meldola emphasizes the confidentiality of his communications with Morais and requests that Leeser not involve him further with the woman or allow his name to be implicated. He also mentions delivering a letter to Mr. Peynado, expresses gratitude for a gift from Leeser, and discusses other matters, including the situation of Mr. Bowenfeld and Dr. Raphael. The letter is written in English and includes Hebrew words and phrases.
