Jewish Foster Home
AND
Orphan Asylum,
S. M. FLEISCHMAN, SUPT.
Germantown, Phila., August 18th 1887
Mr. Henry S. Morais
Editor Jewish Exponent.
My dear sir,
If having come to my notice that several (3 or 4) Jewish children have been placed in the Bethesda (Christian) Home on Chestnut Hill I deem it my duty to call your attention to the fact. Since the Jewish press is to a certain extent the conservator of Jewish honor and not exactly knowing who would be the proper party to notify, I thought that in case you could not give the matter your own personal attention, you would know in whose hands to place it. The
information comes through Miss Amelia Rosenbaum from the father of the children who was at the "Home" during my temporary absence in Cape May. His name is Philip Leberman, residence unknown to me, he has two children in our "House". The mother is in a lunatic asylum in Norristown. Of course you will understand that this is a private communi-cation made for the purpose of enabling the proper authorities to prevent Jewish children being educated in christian homes. With kind regards--yours truly S. M. Fleischman. - Identifier
