546 N. 5th St.
Phila., Wednesday, Aug. 15th, 1883.
My Dear Father:
We received your postal from Albany this morning, and were glad to hear that you were all right, despite the inconveniences of travel. We are all doing well, and expect to get along nicely. I enclose you two letters--one arrived the same day you left, and is, doubtless, from Pareare; the other I received from Mr. Polano last evening, when at his house to make arrangements about the Synagogue services. I will read the Friday Evening & Mussaf services & perhaps, the prayer for the government; he, the rest.
Mr. Joseph Mendes of 149 N. 6th St.,--one of our Friday evening tenors--wishes you to write a letter, or certificate, addressed to the Parnassim of the Spanish & Portuguese Congregation of Amsterdam, Holland, stating that he (Mendes) is alive & resides at the above address in this city, is married to Sarah Gabrielle Perevia Mendoza,
by whom he has two (2) children. His object is (so he states) to receive a certain sum allotted half yearly, on his wife's ac--count; she was an being an orphan has a claim thereto. this is, as far as I can understand. Please write the certificate as soon as possible, & send it to me. It must arrive in Amsterdam, one month prior to Rosh Hashana.
I saw Jones this (Wednesday) mor--ning. I will, most likely, spend next week from Sunday to Friday at his cottage in Atlantic City. I suppose Cousin Josephine (who returns tomorrow (Thursday)) will stay with the children meanwhile.
That fellow, Stein of Wilkesbarre, has been poking fun [?] at those who observe the Feast of Ab. Some rigamarole of his appeared in one of his city dailies. Jones will have something to say about him this week.
I think I have told you about all. Inquiring friends send their kind regards.
With love from all. Your son, Henry.
To the Rev. S. Morais.
P. S.--I send by this mail Tuesday's & Wednesday's Ledger, & I will mail other papers, as desired. Brace sent you his "time" article in the daily Record. I put it, together, with 2 Archives Israelites, in your desk. Have heard nothing yet from Sonneschein. Will wait until Friday, as he may be induced to write owing to his not having received the regular monthly letter from me to the Jewish Tribune. - Identifier
