No more will America profit by the counsel
of Thy upright servant. The lips which a live
coal from the altar of Purity had touched, are
sealed for ever in death. Bent with sorrow
we have this day accompanyied to its final home the
body whose restoration would have been our
joy. The tears of Thy afflicted children ~~flow;~~bedew their countenances;
their blessings are wreaths of unfading flowers
crowning yonder~~that~~ sepulchre. May we, O heavenly
Father! often turn our thoughts thereunto, and,
remembering the foul sin of dishonesty which
~~caused~~occasioned the opening of that untimely grave, may we
vow to carry out the principles of rectitude
which the dear dead has left as a legacy. Grant
that our brel solves may receive a complete realization
through the unswerving adherence of Chester Allenan Arthur
to the ~~solemn~~ oath he solemnly took in Thy divine presence. Then
~~time~~ will ~~soothe~~ the oppressive feelings which
so distress us now find relief.

I wish to note that it seems to me that in the line of text now numbered 16 in the transcription, it appears to me that Rabbi Morais -- with respect to a word after "our" -- at first wrote "bel" (perhaps intending "beliefs"), but then (deciding to instead use the word "resolves") revised the initial "b" to an "r" and the "l" to an "s" -- and added "olves" after a small space to complete "resolves".
