Abraham de Sola writes to Isaac Leeser from Montreal on November 24, 1847. The letter discusses several topics, including de Sola's inability to send a promised article on the early settlement of Jews in England due to his busy schedule, news from the Montreal Jewish community, including the positive impression made by a recent visitor on the Montreal Synagogue, and comments on Leeser's work and reputation. De Sola also mentions receiving correspondence from his friend D. Benisch and his father, which includes a reference to Leeser's potential visit to England and a prospectus for a publication by Mayer. The letter concludes with reflections on religious reform and the state of Jewish life in Montreal and England.
