My dear & Reverend friend
I have read in the the Record of the 9th your eloquent sermon delivered on the 7th day of [Hebrew] in "Russia Romania and Spain," and though "from afar" I cannot let the occasion pass without expressing to you my vivid acknoweldge-ments.
It does the soul good to hear (and alas! When deprived of this pleasure) to read such discourses.
They keep alive the ancient fire, the love of former years, the proud memories of the past; the greatness, the glory and indestructible virtue of Judah.
Often from the pulpit to a people so deeply engrossed as our modern brethren are, should such
instructive words be spoken, the mind refreshed, the heart rekindled with the love and the soul touched with the truth of Israels mission on Earth.
I thank you dear & Reverend Sir & Friend and pray you to believe that distant and absent though I be, I still keep warm in my heart of hearts remembrances of thy generous appreciation & sympathy and watch with pride all your works.
With Sincerest Esteem
faithfully your friend
Benj F. Peixotto
