Rev. Dr. S. Morais,
My Dear Dr:
Father being still a great sufferer and unable to pen these lines himself asks me to thank you most cordially for your kind & sympathetic interest in his welfare as well as for your sentiments about his work "[Hebrew]"
He further asks me to beg of you earnestly to pray for his health to [Hebrew] for a [Hebrew], "fully convinced that the supplications of a [Hebrew] like your distin-guished self [Hebrew].
It is needless for me to assure you how fervently he reciprocates your friendly regard & cordial esteem, nay more than that,
he has always told me that he has learned to love you and in you that rare poetic Jewish idealism and lofty devotion to our holy cause which he insists upon terming simply as prophetic, [?] by the inspiration of the [Hebrew]. Father is alas! very ill, not dangerously so, thank God but seriously and he suffers acutely! May the Almighty grant our petitions for his relief! Amen.
Dear Dr: May I beg of you to send me such works on bibliography as you might possess written by Drs. Stewschneider & Mortara & Modona & other scholars (Luzzatto Almanzi etc.) As for inst. catalogues of Hebrew manuscripts or printed books? I will cheerfully give you their equivalents in other books which might perhaps interest you more than those you possess which I desire to have.
Dr. Marco Mortara's [Hebrew] I
possess. He has published however catalogues of MSS. which I would like to obtain. So has the famous librarian of Parma Peitro Perrean issued many similar works as f. i. catalogue of abbrevi-ations in Jewish literature & MSS in Parma etc; well known to you no doubt.
Almanzi's Catalogue has been, I believe issued by his friend Luzatto? Have you got it?
I should also like to procure on the same terms a full set of "Corriere Israelitico", "Mose''"Angologia Israelite-ca" and the "Vessillo Israelitico." I shall be as grateful to you if you could possibly let me have the books, or put me in communication with those who have them.
With kindest regards to your good Son I am dear Dr, faithfully yours George A Kohut - Identifier
