Congregation Moses Montefiore,
160 EAST 112TH STREET.
New York, Elul 29--5650.
Dr. S. Morais,
Philadelphia.
Dear Sir!
At the suggestion of Dr. B. Drachman, our Board of Trustees, a few weeks ago, secured the services of Mr. Jos. H. Herts (a student in your theological semi-nary) to preach in our synagogue during the ensuing holy-days. Our congregation was duly apprised of this by a public announcement. From a letter, however, received on the 12th Inst. dated the day before, Mr. Herts writes to Mr. A. E. Hartsgensis
that he is unable to fulfil his promise with us, having been informed that Mr. Blumenthal, Dr. Cohen and yourself do not think it proper that a young man of his age should appear in the pulpit on [Hebrew]. This is substan-tially, if not litterally, what he wrote.
Had we received earlier notification of the disapproval of Mr. Herts' engagement with us, we might, possibly, have sought elsewhere for a substitute, but coming, as it does, at the eleventh hour, it places us in a very embarrassing position.
Our sole object in writing to you is to acquaint you with all the facts in the case.
Accept our friendly greetings of the season; and believe us. very respectfully. your. Isidore Osorio. Board of Trustees Secretary of the
