One letter from Sade Bruttman to Richard Jerome Silbiger, dated January 22, 1944. Sade writes that she is looking forward to a break from school and having time to read a book. She asks if he has read it (the title is illegible), and says she can send it to him if he is interested. She also asks what Richard wants to do with the "History in Medicine" book he sent her. She asks why Richard is teaching math and physics. She wonders if there is a possibility of him returning to teach in the specialized training program.
