Rev. Dr. Morais Esq
Honorable Sir!

I am very sorry to say, that it is beyond my intellectual develop--ment and knowledge of the English language to appreciate, still more to express the gratefulness and reve-rence I feel before your enligh-tened generosity, sincere compassion and true fatherly love to every fellow-sufferer, a splendid example of which I see in your interest token in my, a total stranger to you, care._I am rather inclined to think, that your best compensation is in carrying out irreprovably and gallantly the ideal of our talmudists:- [Hebrew] And this encourages me to ask you

to oblige me again by Your favor in furnishing me with a recommending letter to Pr. Shteinbach, who, having connections with many hospitals, could easily get me in into one of them, as a private assistant of one of the resident physi-cians there. I wrote these lines with the intention of being the first ap-plicant, while being prevented from calling at present.
Respectfully Yours
Philip Kovno
