London 11th March 1853
2 Heneags Lane, Bevis? Marks
Revd Sir,
It is with deep regret that I inform you of the demise of the Revd D. Meldola Hebrew which took place rather suddenly on Wednesday 2nd Inst., he had been indisposed for about two months and a half with a disease of the throat & lungs, but no person, not even his medi--cal advisers had an idea that he was so near his death. I can assure you that he always had a very high opinion of you and deservedly so. May I request that you will be kind enough to insert something in the “Occident” concerning our departed friend, “Peace be with him”
I have sent you the “Hebrew Observer.” in which you will find an account of the funeral.
Hoping you are well
I remain
Revd. Sir
yours truly
David Piza
