Letters from Lida
Dear Fanya,
There is an infuenza epidemic in Lida and allPoland
Please, don't be angry with me that my letter is so careless but I almost don't know what I write! There is Liza [yet another sister] shouting on one side and Fride on the other.
Dora.
* I think she meant that this is a teachers' meeting before giving
marks to the students at the end of the semester.
This is probably an early letter, because while Fanya is already in Palestine, Dora is still in Lida, finishing school. On the reverse of this letter is another letter in Yiddish. The signature is apparently that of Kallman Pupko, the father of the family, but no one - not on ViewMate, or Reuven Poupko's contacts in Israel - has been able to read it.
