New York, February 21, 1855
Honored friend:
Dr. Simon Abrahams told me that Mr. Norr has been temporari-ly elected steward of the hospital, and I therefore assume that Mr. Norr is disposed to accept this and that he will gladly take the post. I have therefore declined to apply for the position of teacher at the Hebrew Education Society and permit myself to ask you, in case you can be of help to me in the attainment of a position of the said society in Philadelphia, to do so. For I am without a livelihood, “May God reward you doubly in return”. In my letter to Mr. Binswanger, I re-ferred to you, and I ask you, in any event, to reply to this letter, and to be good enough to let me know whether the teacher up till now will remain or not, and how high the salary is, whether it is equal for both teachers, etc., If there is no good prospect, I shall decide to do something else. Herewith you receive also the enclosed card which I have prepared without completing it for Mr. N. Oettinger, since he ex-plained to me that he himself hopes to sell the prayer books.
With th wish that this letter may find you in the best of health, I sign with all respect,
Devotedly,
Michael Light
