Revd Sebastian Morais,
546 North 5th St.
Rev. Sebastian Morais,
Dear Sir,
I asked Dr. S. W. Mitchell to day to what Society I could apply to ask assistance for an Israelite family who are in destitute condition and sadly need a proper kind of relief? his reply was write to Mr. Morais who I know will visit and give the needed assistance to them. I therefore write to you because I would be glad to hear that some comfort had gone into their home. The mother is a nice looking woman, now sick, and with her are two children
a Son and daughter, the latter has now a situation at three dollars a week, but the son has been out of employment for some time, the younger children have been placed in the Jewish Home in New York it being the best that the poor mother could do. She herself carries articles of small wares for sale from house to house & lately the son has taken her place. I have tried in vain to obtain a situation in a shop for the lad thinking this the better way to help them but have failed in every application. Will you be so kind as to see the family and judge
for yourself what had better be done to give them the help to help themselves.
I shall be glad to hear from you if any thing can be done for their future & present comfort, at my address 1620 Locust St.
Mrs. Isaacs lives at No. 602 South Ninth St.
Mrs. Geo. L. Harrison.
