Studiolum this must be from the recently digitized photo-archive of NY municipal archives. The server is down as you can see "Due to overwhelming demand": http://www.nyc.gov/html/records/html/misc/luna.shtml
ResponderEliminarThanks a lot, Araz! The link was included in the article linked at the date under the transcription (as I could not directly link to the archive). Now I have also included it separately. I hope soon it would be available.
ResponderEliminarThe missing word in the last line of transliterated text is "ibertseygt" (איבערצייגט).
ResponderEliminarthanks for the help, I complete it now! :)
ResponderEliminara really vital language!
ResponderEliminarwell, it's not "zoyre" (not known in yiddish) but "vare".
ResponderEliminarthanks, corrected! :)
ResponderEliminarI wish my 98 year old mother didn't have dementia, so I could share this with her. She spoke and wrote yiddish. I do not, sadly.
