                <p>Much business must plead excuse for my delay in answer to your kind note &amp;
                        <persName ref="CraikSiteIndex.xml#GoldsmidAnnaMaria">Miss
                        Goldsmid</persName>’s. – </p>
                <p>I will carefully think over all you say before any second edition comes out. My
                    strongest reason for saying that with certain noble exceptions, women did not
                    reach their highest estate among the Jews – was the fact that the law of Moses
                    allows polygamy. – My own strong interest, for many years, in all concerning the
                    Hebrew race – would prevent my saying anything, consciously to wound a Hebrew
                    woman.</p>
                <p>I thank you much for the trouble you have taken to set me right where you believe
                    me to be wrong: – if your reasons be <hi rend="underline">convincing</hi> I will
                    gladly make the acknowledgment.</p>
                <closer>Believe me, – with compliments to <persName
                        ref="CraikSiteIndex.xml#GoldsmidAnnaMaria">Miss Goldsmid.</persName><lb/>
                    Yours very truly<lb/>
