N. York Nover 7th 87
Mr Morais
Dr Sir
I am very much interested in a Fair which we are going to hold In behalf of our "Congregation, Moses Montefore˶ We have only been organized two years and from only 5 members, we now number 20 or more. The room in which the services have been held are too small and we therefore would like to have a place of worship. You have no doubt heard of our small efforts in your numerous visits to our city. My reason for thus troubling you Dear Sir is this,
A Gentleman of Boston, Mass, has kindly sent me on a donation and has given me a few names of charitable men among those is Mr Alfred Marcus of Boston, I have seen by the Herard mention made of him and his readiness to always help his coreligionists. I know the great esteem and admiration which Mr Marcus has expressed for you and I take this liberty of asking you if you will either write him yourself in our behalf or else give me a letter of introduction to him. I am so anxious to do all in my poor power to build up a good Portuguese Synagogue-- and would like to be the one to have a Donation from him. You have doubtless forgotten me in all these years &
I am a boy of the late Mrs A. Firz, and a dear friend of the late Miss Leah Lobo. If I have taken too much liberty in thus addressing you, you will pardon it in my zeal to further the efforts of the congregation to which I belong in the hope of hearing from you at your convenience I subscribe myself Yours very respectfully S. A. Carr. neé Carvalho, No 60. E. 109th St. N. York.
