New York, Aug 22. 1897.
Dear Doctor:-
A few years have passed, since I have left the Seminary. The reason for my leaving was that I felt too weak to do the double work of the College and your Institute. As I was un-able to fulfill my work to my satisfaction, I erroneously thought, that I have not the talent to become a rabbi, and preferred the calling of

a teacher. Graduating in 1895 from New York College as B. A. I taught both Hebrew and Public School in this city. But, now, after ripe consideration, I think that I do have the ability to study the ministry. I have gone as far as the third year of the Senior Course, and hope, with the greatest perseverance on my part, to attain the knowledge which is necessary for the high position of a rabbi in Israel. I intend to sup-port myself in my course of study and will

repay in coming years the former stipends, which had been granted to me.
Hoping, that you will accept my application
I remain With the deepest respect Sigmund Reich
Address 239. E. 104. St. (III Floor)
New York City.
