Cohen, Joseph Solomon

Type / Call #Personal Papers / P-374Contains a letter in English and a note in Yiddish to Alexander Abrahams and Israel DeLieben, respectively, regarding errands which Cohen wishes to have performed for him prior to his arrival in Philadelphia. Of interest in the Yiddish note is the extent of Cohen's Jewish knowledge, evidenced by his reference to the week by its Hebrew designation and mention of where he spent the previous Sabbath. Cohen was registered as an Indian trader in Pennsylvania in 1773.
