Inquiry Regarding Abraham Harris
Description
Letter from Joshua Lazarus, Chairman of a Charleston congregation, to Reverend S. Morais in Philadelphia, requesting information about Abraham Harris, who has applied for a ministerial position. Concerns have arisen regarding Harris's character and suitability. Lazarus seeks information on whether Harris preached to Christian audiences or applied to Christian denominations for ordination. A reply from Morais indicates limited knowledge of Harris but states that Harris has a good moral character and seems to have studied Hebrew and English well.
