My dear sir
I enclose the letter from the N'port Jews, which please return. I wrote them last night by direction of the committee entrusted with the affair by our Trustees as follows
"If you will telegraph to me tomorrow (Tuesday) twenty dollars to pay traveling expenses of minister and will board and lodge him and will consent to the building being opened for you during the holy days. If you will not pay that expense we will not consent to open the building and you can hold your services elsewhere.
If we send a minister we will send [?] in his care.
I await therefore a message from them and will wire to you if necessary.
Is it customary in your synagogue to say [Hebrew] on Shabbat? Quot homines tot minhagim.
try yr H P Mendes.
