Saturday evening, Oct 10-96
Honorable Joseph Blumenthal
My Dear Sir
Thanks for remittance on behalf of my students. I am also grateful for kind inquiries and wishes.
My enforced absence from the Synagogue during Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, was a source of mental worriment that I can scarcely describe. My son and my scholars acted in my stead. I could not possibly remain at home on the day of the Atonement and I dragged myself to my place of worship, remaining however painfully inactive. I resumed, in a measure, my ministerial duties on Succoth and since then I continued to officiate but not steadily. Only this day a week ago I lectured, but I find that I must proceed gently in that respect.
I have a burning desire to visit again the Seminary and I do trust that week or so more will afford me the gratification of calling there. Meanwhile if the examination of applicants is pressing, and my reverend colleagues are of opinion that admission is to the advantage of the institution, I shall abide by their decision.
I have heard that a change has been made regarding the superintendent. I hope for the better. The difficulty of collecting at present is great. Our charities are also in a difficult condition. Nevertheless, I get occasionally a new subscriber. My sore disappoint-ment was to have received no recognition of our endeavours, by my late friend Mr. S. Gans nor by his family. Generous bequests are the only means of permanent support. Few are disposed to copy the example of the noble hearted Mr. Phillips--of sainted memory. With best regards Yours very truly S.
