Rev Dr S Morais
Revd & esteemed friend
Your note of 22d was forwarded to me to this place, where I have been over a week with my wife & family. As to the Mr Davidson matter, I cannot say that I encouraged him in the matter, he simply wanted to know to whom to apply for admission. I know nothing about the gentleman, he brought me a letter of recommendation from Manchester & wrote to me a Hebrew letter wherefrom I can conclude that he has a good knowledge of the Hebrew language. Otherwise I know nothing about his character. He first requested me to pro-cure him a position as Hebrew teacher, but know-ing the difficulties in this relation, he questioned me whether he can expect any supports as a
student of the Seminary. He is a man of rather quiet disposition & has only been teacher in England whence he emigrated from Russia. I agree with you that we should endeavor to encourage young Americans for our cause rather than old foreigners who enter the field for want of something better to do. On my return after to-morrow I shall most readily comply with your request & examine him as to his abilities in Hebrew grammar & Biblical history. I know that his profane education is limited.
My d wife has been suffering from nervous prostration & was advised to come to the sea-side to get strength and quiet; I have been here 12 days in order to keep her company & am anxious to get home.
With most sincere wishes to yourself and respected family & most hearty [Hebrew]
I remain yours fraternally H W Schneeberger - Identifier
