- Description:
- Marc Chagall Correspondence. Handwritten Yiddish autographed letter from Marc Chagall April 4, 1948 to JPFO head, Rubin Saltzman. The April 14, 1948 typed letter back to Chagall is meant to encourage him on the book and illustrations since Chagall's letter has a "pessimistic tone." The brief pencil cover sheet "Issues" in English mentions encouraging Chagall, quoting from April 14. Saltzman discusses the production of Di Ershte Bagengish (My First Encounter), Bella Chagall's second Yiddish book with the JPFO's press. Bella Chagall died in the U.S. in 1944 where they arrived due to World War II and her widower wants her Yiddish work published as does Saltzman.
