Richmond Jan 12 1859.
My Dear Mr Morais
As I intended leaving here on Sunday last, you doubtless thought a letter would not reach me but the wet weather and the fact of dear Sammie having the Whooping Cough has necessarily detained me and as missives from my friends are so very welcome I do not like to be deprived of them, until we can commu-nicate personally, for to use your own expressions, This life is composed of sep-arations and reunions, and at this moment I long to see my Philadelphia friends. The Hebrew young mens Literary Association have reorganized the Rev Mr Jacobs delivered a splendid address on the occasion, On the [?]ation of the ancients, The subject for debate on that day was, which has the widest field for eloquence the Pulpit or the Bar
my nephew was in favor of the Pulpit and spoke well on the subject, and made some very beautiful and touching remarks which drew forth considerable applause and seemed to give general satisfaction.
I regretted much that in my last I forgot to tell you of a remedy for Claras frosted feet it is Oil Spike, my Jacob used it whilst at boarding school, and recommended it to many of the students, who were all benefitted by the application, you need only rub the parts affected, every night on going to bed.
I am happy to state that since my last writing to you I have received several letters from Mr Hyneman differing much from his former ones. Perhaps my kind friend I am indebted to you for the change, without your having committed me, I admit my folly in having exposed my husbands
strange notions, but you will be confidented Yours and Mr Hynemans letters were received simultaneously the latter amazed me so much that I really do not know the contents of my last to you, for whilst I was writing company came in, and in order to send by that mail I was obliged to close without reading what I had written.
You will perhaps have seen Levy before receiving this, as he left this morning. Mr Hyneman has a situation for him, but Levy objects, because the man he is a German, please advise him as you think best.
Sammie is as well as can be expected, and the doctor thinks there will be no risk travelling in clear weather, it is therefore very probable that I will be home by the 25th Inst I hope however to hear from you before that time. Please remember me affectionately
to the families of Mrs Finsi Lobo Weil and all enquiring friends. My love to Clara kiss both her and Nina for me I often fancy I see the latter toddling around the chairs &c in her efforts to walk alone my relatives and families all desire kind regards to you and family.
I am as ever
Yours very truly
Adeline Hyneman
PS Mrs Jacob's presented the Rev with his third daughter a few days since I am sure you will explain. How unfortunate to have so many daughters A H - Identifier
