Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. No Jacket. In Yiddish. 185 x 130 mm. (2), 290, (2) pages. Printed on good quality paper. David Pinsky was a Yiddish language writer, best known as a playwright. At a time when Eastern Europe was only beginning to experience the industrial revolution, Pinski was the first to introduce to its stage a drama about urban Jewish workers; a dramatist of ideas, he was notable also for writing about human sexuality with a frankness previously unknown to Yiddish literature. He was also notable among early Yiddish playwrights in having stronger connections to German language literary traditions than Russian. He was raised in Vitebsk. At first destined for a career as a rabbi, he had achieved an advanced level in Talmudic studies by the age of 10. At 19 he left home, originally intending to study medicine in Vienna, Austria, but a visit to I.L. Peretz in Warsaw (then also under Russian control, now the capital of Poland) convinced him to pursue a literary career instead. He briefly began studies in Vienna (where he also wrote his first significant short story, "Der Groisser Menshenfreint" ="The Great Philanthropist"), but soon returned to Warsaw, where he established a strong reputation as a writer and as an advocate of Labor Zionism, before moving to Berlin, Germany in 1896 and to New York City in 1899. In 1949 he immigrated to Israel.

Letterhead, New York, NY, April 16, 1959]. Ilustrador. Letterhead, New York, NY, April 16, 1959]. "Of Course it is Pleasant to Have Folks Gather and Tell You That You are a Hot Potato." [Manuscript]. Hand, Learned [1872-1961]. [Ely, Gertrude Sumner (1876-1970)]. [Autograph Letter, Signed "L.H.", On Hand's U.S. Court House Letterhead, New York, NY, April 16, 1959]. 6-3/4" x 5-3/4" (17.1 x 14.6 cm) bifolium, text to recto of first leaf and verso of second leaf. Light toning, single horizontal and vertical fold lines. Letter housed in handsome 12-1/2" x 9-1/2" (31.7 x 24.1 cm) quarter morocco clamshell case with gilt-edged raised bands and lettering pieces. $1,500. * One of the most significant American jurists of the twentieth century, Hand was a judge of the U.S. Southern District of New York, later a judge of the Court of Appeals, Second Circuit. He was renowned for his judgments, which were admired for their lucidity and elegance. This letter is addressed to a "Gertrude," most likely Gertrude Sumner Ely [1876-1970], who was a longtime friend of the family and particularly of Hand's wife Frances. She corresponded with Hand frequently and had apparently written to congratulate him on the fiftieth anniversary of his appointment to the federal bench. A celebration of that anniversary was held on April 10, 1959. The letter illustrates Hand's occasional insecurity and reluctance to accept praise. He remarks: "Of course it is pleasant to have folks gather and tell you that you are a hot potato; but, even when they do it as well as those gents did, who gathered here last Friday, there is a kind of unreality about it, that is disconcerting.I felt as if it was all about someone I didn't know." Hand continued to hear special cases on senior status until his death in 1961. He had previously published two books while in semi-retirement: The Spirit of Liberty (1952) and The Bill of Rights (1958).
