Dear Doctor!
I learned there are 2 Candidates already for the Surgeonship of the Jewish Hospital before its being published yet. I do not desire to compete if there is but little chance, and would beg you to inform me whether you deem it worthwhile that I should run the risk of not being elected, as I have no estimate of the Salary and would execute efforts to get it, only if it yields a good chance.
The points I could honestly lay stress upon for competition are chiefly my thorough knowledge of Hos-pital routine, language & acquaintance with the leading Physicians of Phila in critical cases for consultation the particular empirical attention I devoted to the peculiar types of disease as they appear in this country different from those abroad, how they manifest themselves in foreigners etc and if also of some avail— my acquaintance with the virtues? desirable to

be familiar with for a Jewish Hospital Surgeon.
With regards from my family
Your

Please to send me one of your last “Occident,” that I can cut conveniently for the same my treatise on the “Hagdrean”? entitled “Sanatary institutions of the Hebrews” which is as yet in loose sheets and not arranged properly
