I am in receipt of your Esteemed letter. I have also received news from Corfu, saying that he will do his best for all written to him. Enclosed please find 2 Mezuzoth. The small one Corfu, the big one Aleppo. The covering in Corfu has of tin and in some ... in glass. You will notice that in neither of them appear the lettes written by the Askenazim at the back of the mezuza. The tin covering you will receive it by next post tomorrow. Games during Pessag. A good gathering of women and children. All playing not for money but for walnuts, nuts and almonds. Instead of a dice a little bone extracted from the hind legs of the lamb was used for the purpose. 3 or 4 of these bones called uotfia were used for the game. Each side having different name: \"...e\" \"pancia\" \"buco\" \"hassoulo\" this last must be from the greek verb χάνω as by that one was losing. Our friend Mr Gabriel wished to be remembered to you, and will try to bing back to his memory some of the old things. I can assure Dr Gaster that I will do my best to satisfy you in all I can. Yours respectfully, Samuel Levy \"."
