[Cz-L] Letter to Mr. Josef Zissels

Dear Mimi,

I congratulate you on your letter to Mr. Josef Zissels.
Your message is very well expressed and to the point.

It will be interesting to see if you get a response to this
and, if you do, what it will be.

Best regards,
Merle Kastner

>> Our culture did not develop in a vacuum, nor did it cease to exist,
