1519 Green St. Oct. 10. 1877.
Rev. S. Morais.
546. N. Fifth St.
My Rev. & Dear Sir.
To you I went first for encouragement to ask an interview, and now I respectfully invite you, to meet two or three other Israelites at my residence, 1519 Green St. on Tuesday next at 7 12 O'clock P. M. Oct. 16—devoutly to seek out and if possible to discover that to put away the stumbling stones on which some of our most learned and confident fall and are broken, shaking the faith of a multitude in the scripture canon, and putting contempt on the hope of the promise made of God unto our fathers, Abraham and Isaac and Jacob. I know you have little hope of any good to come of the meet-ing, as you frankly said, when you promised if possible to attend: but when we consider Jacob's dispersion, and the church's division, all over the world, is a calamity and a shame to both alike, full of disappoin-ted hope, if we shall find that the cause, as well as confusion, is common to us, both Jews & Gentiles, we will help together against the common enemy, and banish him from the synagogue and from the micveh[?]. And in whom can any man trust who denies the truth of God's word? The earth & the heavens shall perish; but his promise given shall never fail nor be forgotten, until it is paid to last farthing.
In this faith strengthen one another for the glory of God.
Yours truly
Henry Dana Ward[?].
Rev. S. Morais
