from a letter I had translated >from Yiddish >from 1934, I encountered the

town or Shetel called Mepil in Lithuania. I have looked in the Shetel
Seeker and I have found a town called Mauliai. The reference is to a member
of SHEIN family visiting his grandfather, Rabbi Shlomo Yaakov Shein just
after the High holidays. Does anyone know of this town and can give me some
reference to it.
