Rev S Morais
My dear Sir
Not having heard yet, from you about Luzzatos Isaiah I presume you have not received it so far. I have been installed here as minister in the German Congn for the last two months-- My congn is quite large altho' there are many in humble cir-cumstances, the wealthy are [Hebrew]--I have furnished a neat little house & have thus two of the things [Hebrew] [Hebrew] Rev Mr Chumaceiro officiated in the Portuguese & gave general satisfaction--
He told me he preaches extempore without preparation I think neither you nor I can say as much
I have to work hard-- I was expected to preach twice New Year three times on day of Atonement The climate here is very much to my taste & I am glad I came here
I hope you are well & that you passed the holiday very pleasantly & that you, & yours [Hebrew] were inscribed [Hebrew] [Hebrew]
I am
Yours Obedtly
A Harris
P.S
Among the applicants for my position was Rev Elkin of your city he stated frankly that he
had been in the receipt of $3000 that his salary was reduced to $2000 & that he was desirous of bettering himself - Identifier
