Author:
Leone Levi (1821-1888), Italian-born Jewish jurist and statistician, Professor of Commercial Law, King's College, London [William Clarke Gellibrand (1791-1884) of Albyns, Essex; Bible Society]
Publication details:
107 Farrar's Building, Temple, London; 30 January 1869.
2pp., 12mo. Very good, on lightly-aged paper. Two years before Gellibrand (whose name Levi misspells 'Jellibrand') made a financial contribution 'towards the Missionary work to the Italians in London'. Levi has not troubled him since, 'but before we close the account of 1868 the treasurer tells me that we must collect some more in order not to be in debt'. He asks if Gellibrand will 'kindly renew' his gift 'to the object'. He is sorry not to have met 'your & our friends at the Bible Society', whose work he values highly, but whose committee meet 'at an inconvenient hour in the day'.
