MYER S. ISAACS,
Attorney & Counsellor at Law.
Notary Public,
243 BROADWAY, ROOMS 9 AND 10.
New York, Aug 27th 1868
My dear sir,
The receipt of your note and enclosed communication reminds me that I had neglected acknowledging receipt of notice of meeting Mr Josephi? has gone to Europe, it is quite out of my power, I regret to say to be with you on Monday. I can't speak for Mr. Sa?
The article in the Israelite is scandalous — I had presumed an ? reply which is in the Messenger. Yours of course is too late this week (rec'd Monday at 10) but it shall appear entire, I expect next week with some remarks by a “trustee.” While I feel that this contemptible assault is in the interest of men who fear their
“occupation will be gone” I f am as disgusted with our orthodox brethren who are very slow to appreciate the necessity of Hebrew Education. You find us of the Messenger working? pretty steadily with the Occident on this question, but it is very, very ? work to get money & pupils
You shall have 2 from New York (2 pupils) any others expected? Please tell Mr Dropsie that I have despatched his notes to our leading congregations, with more misgivings than hopes. We must be unusually patient, & persevere with the college notwithstanding our limited
success with the public.
I feel personally that I ought not to be a trustee because I lack the time & means to push the work of money-getting. I'll make another effort these holydays.
Don't be worried by the barking of the Cincinnati hound. Its' characteristic. He is coming to N. Y. to dedicate a Temple. Perhaps he may hear something to his advantage.
With kind regards to Mr Dropsie & the Gentlemen of the College
I am
Truly yours
M S Isaacs
