My very dear Sir
Your's of yesterday received & in reply would state I am most sanguine of success (Behold the Guardian of Israel neither sleeps nor slumbers) & the Almighty God watches over us. I never met a man whose principals from what I have read about you are so near my views as your's and may our most heavenly father grant your sincere wishes be realised. I must tell you most frankly & honestly it is my heartful ambition that within the next seven weeks or less time I may have the great joy of liquidating the entire amount of your indebtedness, but of course I am mortal & of the
most sanguine disposition I have several very large & most valuable pieces of Real Estate in Boston. I could by the sale at a fair & reasona price by the disposal of some easily do all you would desire I also have several interest in M[?] Stock & Water Power Bonds & as fair a prospect as any one with God Blessing. I do not know at this moment a greater born that a mortal could do than assist to discharge your shule debt for more reasons than one I do not wish my name known at present but when the proper time comes will let you know. Regarding that Blessed dear Sir Moses at his advanced years it could hardly be expected for him to respond. I received a very affectionate note this morng from Baron de Worms, in acknowd of a small sum we sent to relieve our brethren in Russia. Mrs. Marcus thank God is gradually improving God Bless you from your's most truly Alfred A Marcus - Identifier
