20 January 1923

Esteemed, Devoted and Much Beloved Nephew, Shloymele,

Today, I received your letter and enclosed check for $150.
Unfortunately, I am not able, with a mere steel pen, to
express my thanks. I can only say, dear child, that as far
as I can see, you have done your share. May G-d help you so
that you may never know need and if, G-d forbid, you should
know poverty, may your good deeds toward our uncle stand you
in good stead. You have done what often a father is unable
to do for his own child. What a brother is often unable to
do for a brother, you my dear child have done.  It is an
almost unheard of deed that a sister's son should demon-
strate such love and devotion as you, my dear child, have
shown me.

I read your letter with, as it were, a great thirst. I hope
to Almighty G-d that your blessing to me may be fulfilled,
because you bestow it upon me wholeheartedly.

I only hope that I can see you again in my lifetime and be
able to thank you personally for all your efforts.

Heartfelt greetings to you, dear child, from me and my wife.

        Wolf
