Dr Friend
It was indeed with great regret that I passed through your city without the pleasure of seeing you. As it always affords me a great Satisfaction to see you.
My great object in writing to you is to ask a particular favour which you are both able & I hope willing to execute.
In your last No. on the last page you have an advertisement of a Jewish Lady in the vicinity of Phila. willing to take a few Young Ladies for $200.00/100 per year for Boarding & Education.
Is she capable of instructing young girls for twelve to fourteen years of age who are far advanced in English & Music and is she able to give them instructions in French.
The person wishing to place his daughters under her care will much depend on your judgement in every respect,
Your attention and prompt answer will much oblige
Yours &c
Cinc Apl 10th / 48
Elias Mayer
