A two-page broadside (printed on three sides), functioning as a stampless letter, written by Solomon Jackson and addressed to Joseph Dreyfous, A. N. Phillips, and Montgomery Moses on November 4, 1829, in New York, New York. The broadside is a critical commentary on the Society for the Education of Poor Children and the Relief of Indigent Persons of the Jewish Persuasion, addressing its practices and policies regarding the poor Jewish population of New York City. It offers a rare glimpse into the early history of Jewish charitable institutions in America.
