Letter from M. Jastrow to Mayer Sulzberger regarding correspondence with English contributors to a Bible translation project. Jastrow explains an oversight in sending an explanatory letter to Dr. Adler and expresses concern that Mr. Joseph Jacobs may be unaware of this letter's existence. He seeks Sulzberger's assistance in assuring Jacobs that the project's use of the Leeser Bible as a working basis does not intend to restrict contributors' work.
