1849 JOSEPH WOLFF. Letter to Charles Napier Regarding Coptic Patriarch, etc., Jewish Missionary.

Born in 1795 and raised in a faithful Jewish home, young Joseph, even at a young age  a faithful and committed Jew, would boast to his non-Jewish friends and neighbors of how the future Messiah would come and liberate the Jewish people. It was a kindly old Christian who, at something like 8 years old, planted the seeds of Jesus as the Messiah who did something even more glorious than political liberation.

He would go on to become perhaps the most influential Jewish missionary to the people of Israel in America, Europe, and Palestine. He also exercised a formidable ministry in Northern Africa and Persia [Iran] to Muslims. 

Very nicely preserved 1p. framing example of a complete autograph letter. The recipient here is Sir Charles Napier, life-long friend of Wolff's. They first met with Napier rescued Wolff from a shipwreck endured in 1828 when Wolff was scanning the globe to locate the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel.
