A four-page letter from Benjamin Franklin Peixotto to Isaac Leeser, written in Cleveland, Ohio on August 9, 1858. Peixotto expresses his admiration for Leeser's periodical, particularly the editorials. He then suggests a topic for a future article: the belief in a personal Messiah among Israelites. Peixotto proposes an outline and suggests sources, including passages from the Pentateuch and Prophets, and Rabbinical authorities. He also mentions the recently published Book of Genesis by Dr. M. Kalisch, expressing a wish that the entire 24 books of the Bible would be similarly published. Finally, he mentions intending to write again soon on other religious matters.
