Providence R. I. April 12th 1857
Rev. and Dear Sir!
The Jews in this city are now quite a congregation, & they contemplate the erection of an edifice in which to worship the God of their fathers. Their means, by no means large, are inadequate to build such a temple as their hearts would desire. Having heard that the late Judah Touro of New Orleans left in trust certain friends to aid in the erection of houses for religious worship in places where the receivers of our faith are few in numbers & not abundant in means, we, as a committee appointed by the congregation, have taken the liberty to inquire of you if such be the fact. We know of no one to whom such inquiry could be more properly addressed than to one who was honored with that good man's confidence and regard. We are, Sir, with great consideration
Yours very truly
A Worinsers
B Shuman
