HENRY ILIOWIZI,
1845 NORHT EIGHTEENTH STREET.
PHILADELPHIA, December 17th 1890
Rev. Dr. S. Morais
My dear Sir,
It appears to me our solemn obligation to do everything in our power to make the wrongs of our brethren in Russia known, and every opportunity should be embraced to reach this end. To do nothing is most assuredly not the wisest policy. If our government is to take any step whatever in relation to the Russian Jews, only influencial Christians have it in their power to bring it about. Why do nothing, dear doctor! Nothing is sure to come of nothing, while something is likely to spring out of something. Let us show courage as the Irish people do in defence of our human rights and our manhood. Moreover, having had a meeting with the several clergymen, we could not well withdraw, without giving offence. Then what harm can it do to meet that "Brotherhood," anyhow? I credit Sulzberger with a great deal of sound common sense; and do not see why we should hesitate in calling black black if any good chance is presented. If we succeed in moving the public we shall have done well. Sincerely yours Henry Iliowizi - Identifier
