Autograph Letter Signed by David Frishman – Warsaw, 1910
Opening: $120
Unsold
A letter handwritten and hand-signed by David Frishman. Warsaw, February 5, 1910.
The letter was sent, most probably, to the editor of one of the main Hebrew newspapers, and he explains Frishman's choice to publish an essay which he composed in his independent paper "Reshafim", and not in the important newspaper. The spirit of the letter is hurt and sarcastic: "The essay is too liberal and the words are too harsh and they belong only in 'some' brochure of "Reshafim" - which I myself publish. By the way: 'Some' which you use with reference to 'Reshafim' – I like it very much. Truth is that I do not have any pretence or the insolence to position 'Reshafim' alongside the journal which you edit, but allow me to at least look at the brochures which I publish with a better eye than yours" (Hebrew). Signed: "Respecting and loving you, D. Frishman".
[1] leaf folded in half (one written page), 21.5 cm. Good condition. Some stains and blemishes. Two horizontal folding marks. Filing holes.
