I have a letter that Rabbi Joseph Farber wrote to my father in Worcester Massachusetts after he got back to Lithuania the letter is dated 19th kislev 1933 so the date that he was here in the states in 1935 may be incorrect unless he came back for a second trip.
Mayer could you please send me a picture of the letter he sent your father? My email is ubijeremias@yahoo.com
