My dear Sir
It occurred to me after I had left you last evening that the vexatious question about lecturing might be settled this day at the public meeting. If you judge it opportune please say, when the business of the day has been settled, that as it seems that the Con--gregation are divided in their opinion regarding the practice of lecturing at the Synagogue, some desiring it weekly, and others monthly, some preferring a benediction to a sermon, & others again being disposed to dispense with both, it therefore becomes necessary that I should receive precise instructions about it. And although your constitution does not make any provision for it, (any more than it does regarding many occasions when the Synagogue is to be opened for prayers), still, as the practice has become general & is con-sidered useful, a law ought to be enacted to that effect. In case that you will seize
the opportunity, to have the subject discus-sed, you will see of course that the resolution be such as to meet the approbation of the majority, and that it would not impose on me more than my feeble shoulders could bear.
In haste yours very respectfully
S. Morais
