S.Y. Agnon, handwritten letter, addressed to his brother-in-law Moshe Marx. Signed: S.Y. Czaczkes. [Ca. 1921]. Hebrew.
In the letter Agnon notifies his brother-in-law of the books he intends to send to him and of the books he intends to buy, and asks Marx to send him some of his books, kept by Marx, to his new apartment "in Homburg near Frankfurt" [Agnon had moved to Bad Homburg, Germany, in 1921, after the birth of his eldest daughter]. At the end of the letter Agnon sends greetings to two of his friends - Dr. Eliashberg [Aaron Eliashberg, head of the Yiddisher Verlag publishing house], and "the great scholar, handsome of visage, master of book men… His Honor, Rabbi Alexander" [apparently meaning the historian, bibliographer and librarian Alexander Marx, Moshe's brother].
At the end of the letter he asks "whether Mr. Gershom Scholem is in Berlin and if so, where".
Moshe Marx (1885-1973) was a bibliographer and Jewish librarian, one of the founders of the Soncino Gesellschaft association. His sister Esther was Agnon's wife.
[1] leaf, 21 cm. Good condition. Horizontal fold line and creases. Tears to margins of fold line and some additional small tears. Tear to top of letter (with damage to text). Stains.
