S. MORAIS,
546 N. FIFTH STREET,
PHILADELPHIA, PA.
My Dear Nina
Last week, I did not write on Wed-,nesday nor on Friday evening, because my mind was full of the approaching consecration in N. Y. I wrote on my return. Perhaps you received that letter. A funeral on Thursday kept me away from home and I did not an--swer your Sunday-letter till Thursday evening. I don't remember what my writing contained. About my trip to N. Y, I suppose that I mention what was worth mentioning. Esther returned home yester--day evening and spent five days at Mrs Gallant's she enjoyed Rose's company. Rose Cohen, very thoughtfully and kindly, sent me through Esther a bouquet of Roses, the receipt of which I have acknowledged. Miriam is out for supper at Gentile's. The weather has changed here also for cold, and I am sorry, because every thing seemed
in full bloom, and frost might do mischief. Emanuel asked me to write an inscription for his mother's tomb stone. I wrote it and sent it yesterday, but I think that he had better get me to prepare another, as we Sephardim do, mentioning the husband's name and not the father. However, let him suit himself about that. I have looked over several chapters which Dr J sent sometime ago, but I have not finished the whole batch, for his emendations &c, are very nu-merous, and sometime his writing is to me illegible I am glad that you feel comfortable in your new home, and hope that the servant girls will be suitable.
Esther who is up here to take a Hebrew lesson, says that she will write a long letter as soon as she can.
I direct this letter to Emanuel's office, because I forgot your present address Much love SM
