Single page letter (blank reverse); boldly penned and fully signed by ABRAHAM GOLDSCHMIDT "…care of Mr. Keiler, St. Louis 7 May, 5625" [1865] to Isaac Leeser in Phila. Very stilted English as to spelling, grammar and structure, thanking Leeser for the "kindness shown to me at my calling on you last [week]. At my arrival here Mr. Moses with eight singers was appointed to read last [a Hebrew word of few letters]. I therefore shall do so next…with the above gentleman, the Treasurer of [Hebrew word]. If I remain here for longer I don't know. I forgod [sic] at the Market Hotel my pink silk handkerchief and do not know to write to him. My name is booked there and should be glad if you will be kind enough [to do it for me]." Exc. Would be intriguing if it was indeed a traveling troop of Hebrew singers!.
