September 5, 1893.
My dear Mrs. Potsdamer:
Your gift is suggestive. I ought to wear in Synagogue, while officiating, a head cover less weighty and cumbersome than my usual hat. That is evident to all, and you, dear friend, have illustrated your kindly thought by offering to my acceptance a beautiful cap. It may be personal vanity, or perhaps the effect of in-veterate habits to which I am wedded, but I imagine that any change in my outward appearance at this time of life might ill become me. You will there-fore, I hope, pardon my not making use of the present with which you have desired to do me favor. I shall not be guilty of ungrateful rudeness by returning it. I shall retain it as a proof to my children, that yourself and your household think well of Yours very truly (Sgd) MORAIS
