Description:
Letter requesting 25 more copies of Hirschbein's (Hirschbein) novel "Royte Felder", or Red Fields. English comment in pencil, "Routine". Unusually, Rubin Saltzman uses Soviet Yiddish orthography in writing to Hirschbein.
Notes:
Royte Felder is two books (almost 500 pages) published in 1935 as one volume by Astoria Press.
The Jewish People’s Fraternal Order was the largest ‘national’ section of the International Workers Order (IWO) which focused on cultural awareness and celebration, mutual support especially in health insurance coverage, and anti-fascist activities. The IWO also gave particular emphasis to supporting the rights and interests of African Americans.
