OFFICE OF
The Israelite and Deborah,
150 WEST FOURTH STREET.
ISAAC M. WISE,
Editor and Proprietor.
Cincinnati, Nov. 21 1873
Rev. Mr. Morais
Dear Sir & Colleague
I thank you heartily for your kind sympathy expressed in your letter to Friend Ezekiel. My wife [Hebrew] improves, and will be out of bed in a few weeks.
As regards the revision of the Bible to be proposed to the "Union", I certainly had you and some other prominent Hebraists in my mind, when I wrote that suggestion. I believe, we can unite twenty to thirty good men, to do the work properly and promptly. We might lay down, by common consent, general principles, and then each work his portion, to be submitted to the others engaged
2
in the work, so as to secure Unity of Style. All this could be done without much trouble to anybody.
Whenever the "Union" will have a hundred con-gregations with ten thousand members, this and many other useful and necessary things can be done easily. I would also like to see the Hebrew philo-sophers rendered, especially Saadiah, Ibn Eabiral, Bachia, Ibn Laub, Judah Halevy, Ibn Zaddik, Maimonides, Personi-des, Terescas and Albo. It could be done right here in this country. The men are here. The funds are all needed. But this also has to come in time.
Wising you, dear sir & colleague God's blessing
I remain Yours
