To the Editors of the "Jewish Record"
Phila 23d November 1862
Messrs Editors
If your correspondent is anxious to acquire notoriety among his compeers, let him not rely upon my literary assistance. the "Manzer question" which he seeks to revive, has been definitely set at rest two years ago by others as well as by myself. Indeed, his so called "Rejoinder" published in your last issue, would have remained altogether unnoticed by me, but for a false assertion it contains. I owe it to my reputation to emphatically deny that I have, in the presence of Mr De Solla, disparaged the authority of the Talmud. The best criterion we may form of a man's principles are his daily actions, let then the Jewish public judge between me and my traducer;
As to his insinuations regarding my inability to produce any "ecclesiastical diploma," I will say, that experience has taught me to esteem above all others, the individual who is furnished with the same letter of introduction which Akabia son of Mahallad gave his child, hence I neither pride myself on the testimonials I possess, nor am I in the habit of exhibiting them to view.
yours very respectfully
S. Morais
545 Nth 6th St
I refer the Revd J. M. De Solla to the see Mishna, treatise Eduyot. - Identifier
