In full: “The beautifully bound and illustrated copy of ‘The Haggadah,’ which you and your friend, Lou Poller, bought for me in Jerusalem, is a treasured edition to my personal library. I am most grateful for your kindness in presenting me with this sacred book of the Jewish faith, and I hope you will express my appreciation to Mr. Poller for his generosity as well. With kindest personal regards.” In fine condition.
