Washington D. C.
April 11, 1877
Rev S. Morais
Philadelphia, Pa.
Dear and Rev Sir
A friend has written me of a beautiful sermon of yours on Sabbath before last wherein you were pleased to speak of my humble services on the altar of humanity.
Such remembrance--such kind and thoughtful remem-brance and recognition now after all the terrible years of suffering and trial in that dark Da[?]land, deeply touches me.
It proves there will always be some noble minds whose dumb cold forgetfulness will not effect, some true hearts that will bear faithfully on to

the last. I should be delighted to have a copy of that sermon to send to my children in a far off land. I trust like others of your noble and eloquent and classically beautiful discourses it may appear in print.
Let me however at least thank you for your kind cheer and pray God to render me ever worthy of the love and confidence of such men as yourself.
Accept the assurance of my highest esteem and believe me ever.
Faithfully
your friend
Benj. F. Peixotto
