Sir--1 have just read in the EVENING

certain Rev. T'r. Simons. He has insulted
the whole Jewish race. though he states that
he means to cast no reflection on the Jewish
race in general He damns us. because go
he thinks). we who live in lower East Side
New York, have aided the Bolsheviki to such
an extent that they have overthrown all

more, Jews go there because they desire m
