OJ 14/10, [15] Handwritten letter from Rosa Weil to Jeanette Schenker, dated November 24–28, 1934

12-page letter written over four days: Arnold has, Rosa Weil agrees with Jeanette, taken on a paternal role over the Schiff siblings. She comments at length on Victor: admirable in what he has achieved, as a free man in [South] America he shows no concern for the troubles of his siblings in Europe, responding only by preaching Zionist rhetoric. Arnold, on the other hand, cares selflessly for all who are in need, while working from morning to night. — Jeanette is given news of her sons [whom she has not seen since 1910], their wives and children. — Rosa reflects on her own life and responsibilities, and her wishes before she dies. — She proudly describes her home and the plants that she cultivates in it.
