My very dear Sir
I have forwarded this day by Adam's Express to you a Scroll of the Holy Law only finished in this City yesterday it was commenced in Wilna Russia, & the scribe finished the fifth book here. I know both father for some time & he is an excepitinal good man. I purchased one for our own shule, these two scolls I bought in Sacred Memory of my darling Angel
Wife now if you will take the scroll I have sent you and present it to your Congregation, conjointly with my dear son & daughter & son & self in Gratitude to your congregation for your noble deed in hastening & officiating at my poor wife funeral, & if your congregation will so record in their books, & three times a year when prayers are said for the souls of the departed her name should be remembered. the cover & mappa I should like returned when I send a
a new, or if you could get a handsome white satin & colomed[?] one made in Philadelphia We will pay for it. Secondly I have sent from New York 50 small Hebrew prayer Books which please donate in our joint names to the Foster Home, & the best charitable societies divided as you deem fit & also 2 sewing machines, send where they will do the most good (I hope you will use the scroll at the Holy festival Sunday) & now my dear Mr. Morais we have sent for your very kind acceptance according
to my promise a silver Kidish Cap & Stand & may the God of Israel spare your life for very many many years to enjoy the Sabbath & Holy festivals & in remembrance of the sad duties you performed over my pure darling blessed wife God rest her soul with the kindest wishes & regards in which my darling daughter & son join to all dear to you I am wishing you good yourself Yours very faithfully Alfred A Marcus
