2. Send material as plain text:  no HTML, other coding, or attachments;and 
write MENDELE PERSONALS in the subject line.
3. Correspond directly with the person who or organization which has

Subject: Yiddish as a Conversionary Language

Dear All,

I am writing a paper on the use of Yiddish as a missionary language in 
general, and specifically in the beginning of the 20th century on the 
Lower East Side of Manhattan. I am looking for both primary and secondary 
sources that could help me with this research. If you know of articles, 
archives, or other resources that could help me with this work, please let 
me know.

A sheynem dank,

Shaul Seidler-Feller
