aentlemen:It Is with great pleasure that I note the effort being made to properly record the worK, and achievements of the Jewish people of Baltimore.
There is every reason why this record should be kept. Our Jewish citizens have much of which to feel intensely proud. I know, from my own experience, that they have been wonderful Their factors the task of building and developing our city. magnificent enterprise and public spirit have been exhibited on many and important occasions. I have found them energetic laborers in every field of commendable effort. I have never called for aid in any worbhy direction but what they have responded heartily and effectively. Nor is that strange when we recall some of the splendid personalities who are found in their circle of leaders. Big brains and big hearts are plentiful, for which reason they have played a conspicuous part in our commercial and philanthropic and political history.

I congratulate our Jewish people upon what they are and what they have accomplished in our midst. They are a valuable and cherished portion of our people: and I wish them a continuance of their loyalty to Baltimore and to Baltimore's interest s.
Very truly yours.
