REV. AND DEAR SIR:
Referring to the enclosed circular, we beg to invoke your personal effort in behalf of the objects therein set forth. If you will kindly exert your eloquence FROM THE PULPIT, we feel assured gratifying results will follow.
No plea is necessary from our side to inspire or strengthen your own conception of the high character of the work for the intellectual advancement of our people. We feel that you will realize how great is the obligation devolving upon the more favored to promote the dissemination of Jewish knowledge and culture amongst our people. In this country, in particular, where the material struggle is so great, the necessity of withdrawing the mind from the engrossing cares of business and enlarging the sphere of thought must be apparent to all who have at heart the betterment of the people.
We rely upon your cordial co-operation, and should be pleased to receive assurance of your sympathy.
Very Truly,
JACOB H. SCHIFF,
Chairman N. Y. Committee.
BENJAMIN F. PEIXOTTO, Secretary.
