A two-page letter written by Henry W. Ducachet, rector of St. Stephen's Episcopal Church in Philadelphia, to Isaac Leeser on October 11, 1864. Ducachet requests information about the dedication service of a Hebrew Orphan Asylum in New York, seeking details on the service format and any relevant materials from Leeser's ritual. The letter shows Ducachet's interest in Jewish religious practices and is accompanied by a photostat of an account mentioning his attendance at a meeting protesting the Damascus Affair in 1840, along with a biographical sketch. The letter displays normal aging but is otherwise in excellent condition. The letter is housed in Arc.MS.56, Box 3, Folder 5.
