DR. D. STERN,
EDITOR JEWISH TRIBUNE.
Natchez, Miss. Wilkesbarre Pa., Sept. 5th 1882.
Rev. S. Morais
Philadelphia
Dear and Reverend Sir: You are perfectly right in your supposition that I have been away from home; my presence in St. Louis was announced in the Tribune some weeks ago yesterday I returned and found an English letter from your son and a Hebrew postal card from you. Your son's letter has already been forwarded for publication. But your English letter whereof you speak in your last postal card has not reached me, and it is very probable that it has been forwarded to St. Louis and will be returned to me in a few days.
And now my dear Rabbi, permit me to say to you that my respect for your sincere piety and earnest convictions would have remained unaltered even if you had been the author of that bitter article. We are all entitled to our honest convictions in the realm of religion, and
I know of no authority in Judaism that can abridge that freedom. [Hebrew]. It is perhaps superfluous for me to say that I have not the least personal ill-will either against yourself or your son, for I believe that with all the differences that exist between us we can imitate the example of those whom tradition informs us that [Hebrew] [Hebrew]). Let us leave personal animosity for the [Hebrew]. Let us hope that at the beginning of the new year a new spirit may enter into our Jewish affairs, and that true peace based upon respect for honest opinion may prevail in our midst.
![Hebrew]
Yours truly
Dr. David Stern. - Identifier
