Letter from Henry J. Labatt to Isaac Leeser, written in New Orleans on October 27, 1852. Labatt discusses the political campaign and mentions prominent figures of their creed, J.B. Benjamin and E.W. Morse, who have been attacked for their religious beliefs. He includes Morse's reply to one such attack, describing it as "very beautiful." Labatt also mentions a similar document concerning an attack on J.P. Benjamin, suggesting that the attacks are not based on party politics alone but also a desire to underrate political standing based on religion. The letter is two pages long on one sheet.
