Mr. George Alexander Kohut
My dear Sir:
As you do me the honor of calling me your friend, I ask of you, in that capacity, to control your grief and try your utmost to rise above it. You owe that to yourself--a young man of good parts whose talents can be exercised usefully and profitably. You owe it to the younger members of your father's family, to whom you ought to show manly fortitude and you owe it to her whom the honored deceased commended to your filial devotion. The loss was irreparable, but it largely lies in your power to render it less grievous. As to your expressions of thankfulness towards me, be not angry if I say that you magnify the little which flowed spontaneously into a stream of goodness. Nothing further from the real fact. Neither yourself nor any of yours can be my debtor for simply expressing the appreciation in which I held Doctor Kohut's great learning. If there be in it any merit, you have said more than enough. And please dismiss altogether the idea hinted at in your last. Any "token" of your regard to me person-ally, would occasion pain and not pleasure. I have still on my desk your letter respecting the books you would like to obtain from Italy. I am waiting for the printed report of the last convention of the J. T. I. to seize the opportunity and ask some friends to procure some, if not all, of the works you are seeking for. For a time the Corrieri Israelitico was sent to my address. Recently it has stopped coming. Possibly because the editor saw something of mine in the Vessilo. You know, no doubt, how jealous of one another are all editors. The respectful regards of your friend are presented to all who constitute the household of the one whose memory is eternized in his life-work. Yours truly, S. Morais
