My dear Sir,
1st Whenever you revisit N.Y. Mrs. I. & self will be pleased to see you at our home 239 West 52nd Street.
2nd “Patrick” in print looks acceptable and the portraits as l?ed bear some resemblance to “actualities” for instance, Vielsprach = Huebsch or Sonnenschein of N.Y.?
3rd Lives there a Jew with soul so great That really to himself did state, Mamonides I will endow? Is there, Patrick, tell we now?
For a Yankee in Mass. has since $40000. for the Hebrew Professorship at Andover!
4th Yr Rabbis will meet at Philadelphia on the 3rd Proxo. Can you pass yourself

off as a newly arrived Ph. Dr. anxious to hear Adler, Hirsch, Einhorn fight it out on their line? Or can you listen at the keyhole & tell us what they say & do? They propose to sit with “closed doors” & not let the messenger in. Can we circumvent them & is it worth while?
Our printer made a little blunder in the last # of the Patrician sh? in Friday's messenger? Forgive him?
Please let me know how the College progresses. I hear nothing about it.
Truly Yours,
M. J. Isaacs
