Honorable Daniel M. Fox
President of the Society to protect children from cruelty
Dear Sir
In obedience to the dictates of our conscience, and in response to the anxious solicitations of some near re--latives of Sarah Harris--who is now under your kind care-- we have procured for her a home in a family of our religion. Mr Isaac Dryfoos, a merchant favorably known, and in easy cir--cumstances--residing in our city--offers the girl a place in his family and a fatherly treatment among his children. Her work will be light, and in addition to food and raiment, Mr Dryfoos will pay to your society--if you so prefer--in trust for the girl 25 cents per week during the first year, 50 the second, 75 the third, and $1 the fourth, handing the amount to your treasurer quarterly. Should this arrangement--which commends itself to our judgment--not meet with the views of your Executive Board, we propose to let Sarah Harris resume her situation at Mr Hart Bery's Artificial Flowers' Manufactory. That coreligionist of ours will pay the girl $10 per month, the first year, $13.50 the second, $16 the third, $20 the fourth. We will seek a home for the child among people of our belief, where she can board, and pay the deficiency towards her support from our public charities, till her own labors will supply her wants. Very respectfully Isidore Binswanger per S. M. S. Morais - Identifier
