E. Eppstein
439 N. Sixth St. Quincy Ill. Octob. 15. 1890
Rev. Dr. S. Morais
546 N. Fifth St.
Philadelphia Pa
Rev. dear Sir and Friend;
Mr. I. Seider (a Russian) residing here these eight years, supporting himself and family com-fortably, called on me this noon, stating that a brother of his wife Mr. Eieel (Ezeckiel) Gietelman 23 yrs. of age, married--no children--, a carpenter by trade, left his home, Russia, and arrived at the Port of Philadelphia some six weeks ago. Having been sick for some time after his arrival, the young man could not obtain sufficient work to support himself and remit same to his wife and depending mother. His brother-in-law now claims that if his relative could come us here, he would find paying and constant employment in one of the many factories established here; thus enabling him to support his family. The young man board at 423 Arch Str.
Asking my advise, I thought this to be a case falling under the workings of the "Baron de Hirsch" Trust. The man stands in need of the necessary funds to travel West and implements of his trade. For this reason I gave Mr. Seidler this letter for his brother, which he shall hand to you in person, so you will be able to judge for yourself, whether the man is worthy the assistance asked. It seems to me that with the B. & O. the ticket may be purchased at a cheap rate, Forty Dolls. will, I think, cover the whole case.
Mr. Seidler, I know to be a man of integrity upon whose statement I can rely.
With my best Regards Yours ty E Eppstein. - Identifier
