| Description | Letter to Henry Dunn from James Diego Thomson, Gibraltar. He has been in Africa, Barbary and Morocco. Tangier and Tetuan. The Jews there all speak Spanish and read and understand Hebrew. They have boys' schools in which the children are taught Hebrew. No education for girls. He requests Hebrew lessons, used in the Jewish schools in London connected to the BFSS. The Jews in the North of Morocco all speak Spanish and manage their business in it, but they don't use the Roman alphabet but the Rabinnical characters. Also requests lessons in Rabbinical Spanish. The Moors have several schools, he requests a set of lessons in modern Arabic. This would also benefit the Jews not living in the North of Morocco, as they speak Arabic and not Spanish. His contact address is Madrid. |
