Free Synagogue NEW YORK Sunagague house 40 WEST 68 STREET NEAR CENTRAL PARK January 26,1940. Jay Alvin Bisno 4122 Edminds St. N.W. Washington, D.C. My dear Jay Alvin: I am delighted to hear the first blast of the Bisno shofar and to know that President Roosevelt and the Cabinet welcomed you upon your arrival in Washington. Of course you know that in a sense I am your Grandfather. So that I rejoice particularly in your good fortune in finding very, very nice parents. May you have a great deal of happiness. By the time you come to be fifty, may the General Jewish Council be a functioning organization. Please convey my greetings to your dear parents, to Mr. Bisgyer, to Henry Monsky, the Supreme Pontiff of your Father's graft, and, if you happen to see him, don't forget to give my greetings to Mr. James True, and suggest to him that he live to be one hundred years without any delay whatsoever! Yours, SSW:W wide Sopley
