Addressed to the Lord Mayor of London, David Salomons, discusses a telegraphic communication from Berlin regarding a loan to the Russians organized by the leading banking house, Mendelssohn & Co. Reflecting that, like Salomons, the Mendelssohns are Jewish, observes that they would be a disgrace to the Jewish community should the report prove accurate. Notes that the 'Electric-Telegraph sometimes tells fibs', but asserts that, if the communication is true, 'the indignation and the power' of Salomons should be raised against the firm. |
