Dear Mr Morais-
I have been too poorly to call and see you, particularly in reference to Charles Kohs be-havior at Mt Sinai Cemetery to the Misses Phillips, and other members of their family--As sexton he has been instructed by the Presi-dent Mr. D. Teller to act courteously, and I would like a few lines from you about his conduct on the oc-casion alluded to--we have just returned from a visit to Europe where in every locality I visited our people and synagogues. I cannot express my feelings of sad-

-ness at the dreadful condition of our Russian co-religionists. Our Minister Smith is no friend of our people a well established fact in my mind long ago. We should be most glad to see you, and trus-ting you are well. I remain Truly, Lucien Moss.
I spent Thanksgiving day sick in bed--
