My Dear Sir,
Yiddish
A Rice
.July Yiddish
Rev. I. Leeser
post paid in Philadelphia
Yiddish
Baltimore, Monday
13th Sivan (May), 1850.
My dear Sir:
Be so good as to advertise in the next number of the “Occident,” the notice written below, and after-wards, send me a bill for it, and the congregation will pay for it. I shall write it here in German and you will translate it correctly into the English Language.
“The congregation of Baltimore de-sires to have a person who will be able to fill completely the position as cantor and, at the same time, as teacher of Hebrew in a school of 60 children. He must be quite accomplished as cantor and teacher. His salary will be $500. annually. The year begins the
first of next October. No one should present himself unless he is able to do well in both of these respects. All applications must arrive post free, otherwise they will not be accepted. They are to be addressed to me until the first of August, as follows: Rev. A. Rice, North Exeter, no. 8. The person who is considered fit will receive an answer and will have to present himself here at his own expense. He will then be interviewed by the congrega-tion.”
I am and shall always
remain, Most respectfully,
Your friend,
A. Rice
You will include this only in your July number. - Identifier
