Rev S. Morais
Dear Sir:
Will you be kind enough to furnish me with a (brief) written answer upon the following points. 1st. Did Maimonides, at any time of his life, profess Mohammedanism. 2d. What is the true story of his "excommu-nication."
3d. In what estimation was he held by cotemporary Judaism. In what estimation is he held by modern orthodox Judaism. 4th What was the true nature of his views upon creation; immortality etc. Were they what is called "Averroism[?]." What is their relation to the Mosaic teachings.
I desire to communicate your answer to a Christian friend with

whom I have a discussion; and therefore a note at your convenience will greatly oblige
Very Respectfully Yours
S. Solis Cohen
