Copy of G M Montifiore Letter
London, 19th January 1847
Gentlemen,
I beg to acknowledge the receipt of your esteemed Letter of the 31st December last enclosing a bill of Exchange for the sum of sixty four pounds to be forwarded to the Poor of our Brethren in the Holy Land. In compliance with your wish I immediately remitted the amount to the Leaders of the various Congregations, furnishing them with a copy of your directions with regard to the mode of distribution and I requested them to forward to you an acknowledgement of its receipt, and to supply you at the same time with every information with reference to the disposal of former remittances to the Distribution direct from you to the worthy and highly respectable members of that Committee which I would therefore beg to suggest. With fervent prayers to the Almighty that you may reap in his Blessings the fruits of your Benificence to our Brethren in the Holy Land
I am, gentlemen, With sincere respect your Obedient servant
Moses Montifiore
To, G. B. Kursheedt & Solomon J. Isaacs Esqres. New York

Note by the Editor. In giving the above an insertion, we beg leave to state that notwithstanding the statement of our venerable friend, Mr Kursheedt, we deem the case of the Jews at Hebron one of peculiar hardship as they have suffered so much in the ? wars which have raged in their unfortunate city, and we trust that the messenger Rabbi Jechal Cohen may be listened to, without our giving any opinion in the administration of the Palestine fund disputes concerning which we have long since noticed in the Orient and other Jewish papers.
