Mendele Personal Notices & Announcements

February 16, 2012

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;and 
write MENDELE PERSONALS in the subject line.
3. Correspond directly with the person who or organization which has 
posted the notice,
*not* with your ever-beleaguered untershames.

Subject: Sholem Aleichem's "Yaknez" and story about two businessmen


I am still looking for information about where to research Sholem Aleichem 
particularly information about his play Yaknez and a small story about 
deceit and two businessmen travelling when I will be in Chicago at the end 
of the month.  Any help greatly appreciated.
