Rev. S. Morais,

Dear Sir,
Our Jewish residents of this city numbering about 25 male adults have organized into a temporary society for the proper observance of the approaching holidays.
I am directed to inquire of you whether you could recommend a "reader" who would officiate for us next Rosh Hashona and Yom Kipur.
We would prefer a young man capable of delivering a lecture in English and who would conduct services in "Minhag Jastrow,"
We are prepared to pay all expenses besides 50 to #45. for a suitable person If it be in your power to aid us we will appreciate and thank you very much

An early reply will oblige
Yours very Respectfully
A. Whitlock
Asheville N. C.
