Rev. S. Morais
Reverend Sir
At the suggestion of Mr. Ezekiel of Cincinnati, I take the liberty of giving you my proxy as a delegate to the Council of American Hebrew Congregations. Professional engagements prevent my going. I represent one of the few orthodox Congre-gations that belong to the Union & do not know of any better proxy than yourself to take my place.
There is a measure I would advocate, if I was on the spot, & in which you will agree with me, no doubt. We made three years ago at Cleveland, and arrangement with Dr. DeSola, for 1000 Bibles of Leeser's version which the "Union" sold at $1 a piece. These are all sold, & we ought to take another thousand, and again sell them for not more than $1 a piece.
Please ask Mr. Bettman to show you my report as visitor of the college, & see to its being laid before the council, if the report of the other visitors is laid before it.
Respectfully
Lewis N Dembitz
Louisville Ky July 5th 1877.
