Board of Delegates of American Israelites.
SECRETARY'S OFFICE,
243 BROADWAY.
New York, May 8 5632, 1872.
Rev S. Morais
Rev & dear Sir,
I have the honor to inform you that at a meeting of the Executive Committee held last evening (the first meeting since the news of your recent sad bereavement reached us) a resolution was unanimously adopted tendering you the sincere condolence of the committee on the affliction which it has pleased our Heavenly Father to send you. The submission to His will, the resignation with which you reverently bow to His Decree, sanctify a bereavement which is too profound to be a subject
for consolation, save the expression of earnest, heartfelt sympathy.
Assuring you of the individual condolence of the members of the committee in which I sincerely join, I am
Very Repsectfully
M. S. Isaacs,
Secy.
M. S. Isaacs Esqre, secretary of the Board of Delegates of A. I.
Dear Sir
In my distress, I have cause to be thankful. The heart of Israel ever consonant in feelings with the afflicted, has throbbed very compassionately for myself and my motherless children. Since my dearest friend on earth-- whose loss has saddened my life, departed, I have received many tokens of brotherly kindness. But nothing I value more highly than the expressions of sincere condolence, you even the means of conveying. Will you, pray, tell the members of your Executive Committee—in language more fitting than I can just now frame—how I shall always cherish with melancholy satisfaction the memory of their sympathy shown, and how I beseech God to avert from their families the sor--row of a bereavement?
Were it possible for me to leave home, I would attend the annual meeting of the Board of Delegates. I am deeply concerned about our suffering fellow-believers in the [?] country of Romania. Do endeavor to strengthen the hands of B. F. Peixotto. Let him manfully and successfully battle for truth, that through his zealous exertions freedom may be wrought, and American Judaism may challenge the respect of enlightened mankind. With sentiments of high esteem
I am
Your &c
S. Morais
