Lodz, 31 March, 1926 To the dearest of all my dear ones, Sol Zissman, I have much, very much, to write to you, but I write you nothing because, before I do, I want your father-in-law to see you and discuss everything with you. I was with him in Berszyn, and he showed me your letter. I read it through and understood it very well. I am completely confused. I can't produce a solution for myself. I ask for your advice. What shall I do now? Recently, I have been very depressed because, as your father-in-law will tell you, I haven't been able to earn anything, and if not for you, my devoted one, having sent me the $25, G-d knows how we would have managed the holidays. I am not capable, with my pen, of expressing my thanks for your kindness; no one can appreciate your kindness more than I myself. I only wish you from the bottom of my heart that I should always be able to send you happy letters, not tearful and complaining ones. May G-d grant that your house always be open to those who are hungry and suffering, as the Haggadah states, "All who are hungry - let them come and eat." I am enclosing a letter for your father which I ask that you forward to him by mail. If you want to learn what I am writing to him, then read it and seal the envelope. Also, write to me whether you have met with your father after the letter and what you discussed with him. Your father-in-law will embark on April 24, and when he arrives safely in Chicago, write me everything that he says about me. So, there is nothing else of importance to let you know of. I send heartfelt and loving regards to you and heartfelt regards to your worthy wife, Esther. I have sent her several kisses via her father. Please let me know whether she received them. My wife sends her heartfelt regards to you. My children send their heartfelt regards to you all, without exception. Regards for Ruchele, Bryndl, Rifchele and the family. With respect, Wolf Lewkowicz Please answer promptly. All material Copyright 1995 by Marshall L. Zissman and Sol J. Zissman.
