Revd. S. Morais.
Sixth Street
Revd. S. Morais,
Dear Sir,
We have perused the Discourse you kindly loaned us, our absence having prevented our listening to its delivery, we are exceedingly well pleased with its style & tenor which is noble and affecting; the allusion to that fair land which gave you birth was most appropriate, for like our own once blooming Palestine, she is now seated in gloom amidst the nations of the earth, and our brethren have unhappily to lament at this season, not only the destruction of the noblest pile ever raised by man on earth, but also their frustrated hopes that a haven of
rest was preparing for our people on the great European Continent. Your unselfishness is admirable for though you enjoy in this land of freedom & equality all the rights we hold so dear, yet are you not unmindful of the tribulation & suffering of your brethren in less favored countries. Let us hope your prayers may be heard on High and that your zealous devotion to Israel's cause may meet with due appreciation
Believe me to be
very sincerely Yours,
Matilda H. Cohen
August 10th 1859.
