53 Anderson St
Montreal, Aug. 28. 1885.
Rev. S. Morais
Philadelphia Pa.
My dear Sir,
Knowing your influence on, and among the Jewish communities of the United States, I take the liberty in addressing this note to you, and the courtesy usually extended to strangers, I hope you will not refuse me, but interest yourself in my behalf as much as circumstances may permit.
In England I held the office of Reader, teacher etc. under the jurisdiction of the Rev. Dr. Adler, Chief Rabbi, London, during six years, upon his recommendation and that of the late Dr Artom, I was elected teacher by the Portuguese Congregation in this City ten years ago, and have remained in its employ ever since, now however, necessity will compellme to change places; I shall esteem it an ever-
lasting favor if you will kindly offer me your advice; and if possible aid me in obtain-ing another situation.
I respectfully enclose copies of creden-tials for your kind inspection.
Should this be favorably received,surely you would always find me worthy of your consideration.
I am,
Rev. Sir,
Yours very respectfully,
A. Jacoby
Copies

Portuguese Congregation.
2. Montreal 14th May, 1884.
This is to certify that I have known Mr. Aaron Jacoby for a number of years past, intimately, and also officially, in my capacity of Secretary of the Board of School Commissioners and would say that I consider him to be an efficient
Teacher and one who has proved himself to be a most useful member of our Congregation; as an assistant to the minister, and in otherways, and we shall all deeply regret if he is taken away from us even to be in a sphere of more extended useful-ness than he can possibly be here, in our small congregation.
He will surely have with him,wherever he goes, the best wishes of all here, for he is very popular and liked by all, is very gentlemanly, and upright in character and thoroughly conversant with whatsoever duties he may under-take, and above all is sound in his religious doctrine.

Montreal, 3 Aug. 1885.
Mr. A. Jacoby has been in Montreal for the last ten years during which
time he has been teaching Hebrew and German, we can highly recommend him as a competent teacher, and one who takes great interest in his pupils, he was recommended to us by Rev. Dr. Adler Chief Rabbi of England.

I hereby certify that Mr Jacoby has filled the position of Hebrew teacher in my congregation. During that that time he has discharged his duties in the most thorough and faithful manner and to the entire satisfaction of the congregation. He has shown excellent qualification for his calling and has succeeded in im-
parting knowledge where many less able and less persevering would have failed.

Minister,
