Just recently found a letter written by SALO ROSENTHAL. The letter ,
written in German, was dated Nov. 1, 1936 and sent >from GERMANY to his
relative ELEAZER KATZ in the UNITED STATES. ELEAZER KATZ'S mother was
TOBE-FEIGE ROSENTHAL , so it's safe to assume SALO is ELEAZER'S relative.
The letterhead may be that of SALO' S place of employment. The letter
may not have been mailed in BERLIN or anywhere in GERMANY for that matter.
I have posted it on Viewmate 12803.

TOBE {as she was called} was born in SINEA around 1840. She married MAX
KATKISKY {born about 1836 in SUVALKI} . MAX and TOBE, immigrated to the
UNITED STATES in the early 1870s , and with their children , JENNIE,
ELEAZER, LOUIS, and SARAH , settled in PITTSBURGH,PA.


As for the letter, I can make out a few words here and there, but I
think the gist of the letter refers to something sent to to the family in
Europe, as the words American Express are in the letter, as well as the word
Juden, which was a worrisome time for all in GERMANY.

If any one can translate the letter or has any knowledge about the
ROSENTHAL family , we would appreciate the information.
