To the friends and adherents of our Religion
St Louis, Mo August 5612.
The Jewish Congregation ,,Bne Brith” in this city, desirous to erect a house of worship, have bought a lot in the southern part of the city (in Jackson Str) and also a place where to burry their dead.
Though this congregation has been formed only 3 years ago and consists of only 30 young Israelites lately immigrated to this country and yet struggling with the foundation origin of their material existence, they have now already paid for both without asking the aid of older and wealthier communities; but to erect a suitable building, though not a very costly one, with all the simplicity that only our Religion approves, exceeds our very limited means, and we call therefore upon the Thousands of Israelites now in America, as Individuals or in Congregations associated to contribute their mite for this holy purpose with ? is known to be a prospering growing city, and we hope to grow with it; a ? heartfelt thanks would we pay then to other congregations but ? any donations ? any sum lent without interest but to be paid back within three years, will be thankfully received and receited for by * _ _ _ _ _
or if sent by Post to Isidor Bush
President of K. K. ,,Bne Brith” ?
