MENDELE Yiddish Language and Literature
Personal Notices and Announcements

July 13, 2009

To minimize wear and tear on the untershames, three requests:

1. Send time-sensitive notices well in advance.
2. Send material as plain text:  no HTML, other coding, or attachments.
3. Correspond directly with the person who or organization which has
posted the notice, *not* with your ever-beleaguered untershames.

To members of the Mendele list,

5 weeks ago, just before leaving for to attend my sister's khassene in 
London, my computer laptop was stolen.
Although I had backed up all relevant documents pertaining to my PhD 
studies and other important data (including interviews), my saved and 
sent emails were lost.
I'm a recent Mendele member - and I had some fantastic help from 
individuals on the list in the past months.
Can I ask those who wrote privately to me if they could forward those 
emails again, so that I can store them on a remote server?
All my questions were in regard to Yiddish songs, sung or heard by 
survivors in my doctoral study.

Please reply to me privately: josephtoltz at me.com

Many thanks

Joseph Toltz
PhD candidate, University of Sydney
