Letter from Morris S. Oppenheim to Isaac Leeser, written in London on February 17, 1852. Oppenheim explains his delay in replying to Leeser's previous letter due to business commitments. He declines to solicit subscriptions for Leeser's Bible translation because of his involvement with Dr. Berusch's competing project. He also discusses the challenges of promoting foreign journals among English Jews and offers to contribute monthly letters on Jewish affairs in England to Leeser's periodical, "The Occident", using a Hebrew pen name.
