Philadelphia, September, 1890.
Dear Sir:
The undersigned have been asked to act as the American Committee to secure subscriptions for the Saadia Memorial Publication. The purposes of the Memorial are clearly set forth in the circular issued by the General Committee of which we enclose a translation.
Nothing remains for us to add beyond expressing the hope that you will see fit to contribute to the success of the undertaking.
We desire only to emphasize the fact that this appeal is sent to a LIMITED number of persons--to scholars, more or less directly interested, and to such individuals as are ready to further scientific research. It should be a matter of pride for us American to join the scholars and men of the Old World in a movement, which besides rendering a just tribute to the memory of a man who left a lasting impress on his age, may be expected to do much to promote the knowledge and the scientific study of Jewish Literature.
The SUBSCRIBERS are of two kinds:
(a) Subscribers who will obtain a complete set for ten dollars.
(b) Patrons, who for forty dollars will receive a copy of the publication printed on PAPIER DE HOLLANDE.
We enclose a subscription blank with envelope addressed to Prof. Morris Jastrow, Jr., University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Pa.
In remitting which, to save complications, we ask you to do at your earliest convenience, please draw your check to the order of JACOB H. SCHIFF, Treasurer, but send the check (or money order) to the address of Prof. Jastrow, as above. Subscriptions will also be received and forwarded by any member of the Committee. Respectfully yours, MAYER SULZBERGER, Chairman, B. FELSENTHAL, JACOB H. SCHIFF, RICHARD J. H. GOTTHEIL, CYRUS ADLER, MORRIS JASTROW, JR.
