Rev: Dr S. Morais
Philadelphia Pa.
Rev: Sir-
In my capacity of modern Hazan I have found to my regret the scar-city of good English translations of some parts of the ritual, particu-larly of such adopted for musical compositions. For the last Simchath Torah festival I have composed a Contata, a somewhat elaborate composition, to the Hebrew words: [Hebrew] ending with [Hebrew] etc [Hebrew]. To this whole, rather lengthy Hymn, I have no English translation at all. Intending to publish the music I would not like to do so without adding to it an English version.

I therefore take the liberty to kindly request you to assist me in getting the English translation metrically corresponding with the Hebrew text. Knowing that you or some of your literary aquaintances are able to ac-complish this, by no means, easy task, I trust that you will kindly aid me by com-plying with the request of yours most respectfully A Kaiser Baltimore Dec. 20. 1887.

A. KAISER,
No. 23 HOLLINS STREET,
BALTIMORE, MD.
