Description

A four-page letter written by J. De La Motta from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, discussing a contentious issue regarding a new cemetery. The letter details a conflict within a congregation over the use of a new burial ground and the actions of a Hazan (cantor). The writer expresses his strong disapproval of the situation and explains his resignation from his position. The letter also mentions the recent interment of Mr. Town and the selection of delegates from Richmond to attend a gathering. Several names and possibly organizations (Beth Hyams?) are mentioned, but context remains unclear due to incomplete transcription and illegible sections.
