Dr. . . .
Blessing and Greeting:
I have delayed writing to you until such time as I should have some encouraging news about the publication of your late husband’s article. Unfortunately, there have been various difficulties and delays, among them the fact that a suitable translator has yet to be found to translate the article from German into English.
I want to assure you, however, that the matter has not been neglected, for I have been in touch with Prof. Solomon Zeitlin,1 editor of the Jewish Quarterly Review. I have every hope that the article will see the light of day before very long.
I trust that you and yours are in good health.
With blessing,
