Dear Nephew Shloymele, I write that you should take your uncle's letter into consideration and should attempt to apply all measures and to send the money immediately. You can borrow it on interest, and I hope that the money will be very secure and that your uncle will have a living because this is now the only business in Poland in which one can make a living. As of now, I have put in $300, a part of which I borrowed on your credit, and the balance has completely exhausted me financially, i.e., I have contributed my entire savings and, for the time being, I buy two bags of flour every day in order to be able to bake. But one can't operate a bakery with two bags of flour. Meanwhile, I am in a tight spot as I await your assistance, and I hope that the help will come. In my earlier letter, I have already written that you should borrow $500 on interest, which I assume can be easily accomplished in America, and send it here by telegraph because, according to the deal, we contributed one-half the money, 3,000 zlotys, on May 1, and we have to contribute the remaining 3,000 zlotys on May 15. Therefore, see that you do everything possible in order to help your uncle avoid ruin. As far as we can see, the business is a very good one. One can make a living in it. Hoping that you will respond with your help, I remain Your uncle, Yitzchak Eliezer Chmielnicki My wife, your aunt, and your cousins also send heartfelt regards to you and also to your dear wife, and we send heartfelt regards to your in-laws. Your uncle, Y. L. Chmielnicki All material Copyright 1995 by Marshall L. Zissman and Sol J. Zissman.
