Washington’s response to an address from the Hebrew Congregation of Newport, Rhode Island. The language in the letter gives insight into Washington’s ideas about religious freedom in the United States.
Thanks for catching that. We will update the summary now.
In the summary description paragraph for this document [ http://washingtonpapers.org/documents/george-washingtons-reply-to-the-hebrew-congregation/ ], you refer to the “Hebrew Congregation of Providence.” The document is addressed to the Hebrew Congregation of NEWPORT, RI, not Providence.
