Zalman Shneur – Autograph Letter, Hand-signed – to Joseph Klausner – France, 1926

Autograph letter, hand-signed by Zalman Shneur. Montmorency (France), 1926.
Shneur opens the letter with praising Klausner's last book about the poet Solomon Ibn Gabirol: "This book is a small encyclopedia about the life of Solomon Ibn Gabirol…" (Hebrew). Further, Shneur refers to the "earthquake" which the book "Jesus of Nazareth: His Life, Times & Teaching" caused, and finally mentions a small play which he himself composed and sent for publication to the paper "Hashiloach" (Klausner was the editor of " Hashiloach" between the years 1903-1927).
The letter end with words about Shneur's first born son, who was born the same year: "My boy grows. A very handsome boy… a happy boy".
