The Jewish Exponent,
Published Every Friday.
1009 E. Baltimore Street.
Baltimore June 23 1891
Rev Dr S. Morais
Dear Sir: I hope this note will find you and your dear ones in good health, as it leaves me and mine.
The purpose of this note is to ask a favor, one that I hope will not give you much trouble to comply with. The Sabbath Bible Class, of which I have the honor to be leader, discusses weekly some chapter in the Pentateuch in order to get its fullest meaning, but in that effort to add to our appreciation of its truth, historic character and lofty ideals. We have now reached Exodus and shall next week (July 4) reach the story of how the Egyptian astrologers successfully imitated the miracles of Moses. This incident of which much has been written on both sides, I have never had properly explained to me. But I remember having read that you once ex-plained to some teachers enough to satisfy their inquiring minds and I thought it pos-sible that you might be willing to do as much
for us. That is my request.
I should feel obliged to you if you would let me have such an explanation if possible for this Sabbath's meeting, or if not in time for that of the week following. And this favor will be appreciated, I am sure, by all the members of the class.
You will kindly give my regards to your son Henry and tell him that I hope he is satisfied with the progress he is making on "The Ledger (?)" If he will persist in doing as much good work as he can, despite all its discouragements he will find it will pay him in the long run. I, for instance, have by similar persistence in my work on The American secured a substantial position as Editor of Notes & Queries, and editorial writer. Strange to say, however, though the work is arduous and the hours long, I threw away work engagements that brought me more money for less effort in order to secure it. Now however I have an increase in salary of 25%. I say these little things about myself in order that your son Henry, who is somewhat pessimis-tic, may be encouraged by them in his work.
Requesting your compliance with my re-quest and extending my best wishes to you and yours I am Yours Truly B. H Hartogensis - Identifier
