Esteemed Sir,
I am requested by Mr. Hart to communicate with you in relation to the Senate Bill, 13g,
a copy of which you forwarded a few days ago.
It has been suggested that it would be advisable for the Board to address a memorial to
the President of the U.S., asking, in view of the probably passage of the bill referred
to, that he should appoint a chaplain of the Jewish faith to the Hospitals in the several
military departments, and recommending you for such chaplaincy to the Hospitals
adjacent to Washington.
Mr. Hart prefers to have your views before addressing the President and therefore
wished me to write to you on the subject and request you to state your ideas with
reference to the more expedient time & method of calling Mr. Lincoln's attention to
this matter.
Yours &c
M.S.I.
Revd. Dr. Fischell
