Mrs. Roma Lipowska
ul. Lakopianske 11
Warsaw 33, Poland
Dear Roma:
I have yours of May 13th.
We again remitted $15.00 to the Pekao Trading Company, 25 Broad
Street, New York, for purchases to be held at your disposal. Noting that
we must write always that we leave it to you to have a choice of the
things you can obtain, we were not previously advised of this and our
remittance did not include these instructions, but we hope it will not
inconvenience you. Please bear in mind that none of us undertake to
attend personally to such items.
We are remitting every two or three months, as the case may be,
to certain refugees in New York whom we were instrumental in bringing
to this country; to the expense of their maintenance we contribute with
some regularity. _ e are remitting to maintain Berman Cohen who can no
longer work. W'e have had to help out Dave Cohen in his business venture.
While we are pleased to do such things as long as we are able, though
our business is no longer as prosperous as it has been in previous years,
it is somewhat difficult to always remember special requests or con-
ditions.
As to clothing, I will try to contact my wife and my sisters
to see if they have anything available, but they too are besieged with
similar requests extending from Texas to Korea and they have been quite
responsive to some very urgent appeals regardless of the fact that we
are not related to the applicants.
With kindest regards,
Sincerely,
11
