San Francisco May 16th 1867
Rev S. Morais
Phila.
Rev. Dear Sir
Your favor of March 20 must have been delayed for some time in the P. O, and reached me only to day. The grammar I borrowed from you I found among my books sent to me by sailing vessel as I anticipated, and I am look-ing for an opportunity to send it back to you. It is seldom that I hear of any passengers go-ing to Phila., but I will send to N some acquaintances in N. Y. with request further to forward it to you I have read your biography of the late Hahn Lozzatti with much satisfaction, and with feelings of veneration for the learned departed; but I have not seen your articles in the "Messenger" As I am writing weekly Leaders for the "Hebrew" (a local paper) I have an opportunity of seeing the exchanges of nearly all the Jewish periodicals, and intend to look for your articles in the "Mes-senger, especially on the subject of the ritual. These may even afford me some material to write upon, as I am sometimes at a loss what to say.
This will, I presume, be handed to you by one of my sons, and I trust you will pardon me for mak
ing this an opportunity of asking you a favor in their behalf. They are very anxious to join our family circle, and we, especially my wife, are equally wishful to have them here with us; I am satisfied that the boys can make better progress here than in Phila. but my limited income does not allow me to send for them at my own expense, nor can they earn enough to gather the means themselves.
Neither do I wish them to depend on gifts and favors, and therefore wrote them they must try to work their own way through, But as they may still be in want of some assistance to put them on the way, I would ask you to lend them a helping hand as far as it is in your power, and your kindness shown them will be duly appreciated by me.
It will afford me great pleasure to hear from you again, and with best wishes for your constant health and prosperity
I remain, Dear sir
Yours truly
J M d'Solla
Mrs. D' joins me in
regards to yourself and
circle. - Identifier
