Comments

"At a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Federated Jewish Charities of Baltimore, held April 11, 1907, it was announced that Mr. Jacob Epstein offered to give the sum of $25,000 for a tuberculosis hospital, providing the Federation would undertake its support, and at the same time he offered an annual contribution of $500 toward the support of the proposed institution. A committee consisting of Dr. Harry Adler, Simon H. Stein and the president was appointed to investigate the practicability of erecting such an institution for the sum offered. It was found it would not suffice, whereupon Mr. Epstein made his contribution $35,000."
