Dear Sir,
I expect my wife, who is with her mother in Baltimore, to be confined about the latter part of this month, and as my duties here will prevent my being with her at that time, I wish to provide for all contingencies and be prepared in case the expected stranger should be a boy. If this is so, we intend to name the boy Manly Lyon Emanuel, Manly is my Father's name and Lyon was the name of my late Uncle L. I. Levy. Will you oblige and send me the hebrew name for the child. Direct J. M Emanuel, U. S. Navy, U S Steamer Ajax, Brandon Post Office Virginia. And oblige Yours Truly
J. M Emanuel
