And now Rev Sir, I beg leave to inform you that I am in search of an appoint,ment either as Lecturer, Teacher, or Hazan.

I am told by Mr. Sternberger that there are others of which you are acquainted May I therefore solicit the favor of your informing me as to their directions with the necessary particulars. In the hope of soon seeing you and thanking you in person I am Respectfully Your obt Ser.
