THE HEBREW HOME FOR THE AGED
1901 PALISADE AVENUE
RIVERDALE, BRONX, N.Y.

    Dear Sir:

    I want to thank you very much for your Chanukah gift of a table radio. It is just wonderful that an absolute stranger like yourself would take time off from his holiday season to remember people like us.

    I am 82 years old, and have been here at the home for 16 years. They treat me very well, but the loneliness is sometimes hard to bear. My roommate, Mrs. Eisenstadt, is a nice person, but she is very stingy. She has a table radio, but she won't let me use it and she turns it off when i come into the room. Now I have my very own.

    My son and daughter-in-law are very nice and they come to visit me once a month. I appreciate  it and I also understand their sense of obligation. This makes your gift all the more wonderful, because it was given not from a sense of duty, but from a feeling of compassion for a fellow human being.

    Today Mrs. Eisenstadt's radio went out of order, and when she asked me if she could listen to mine, I told her to go fuck herself.

Very truly yours,
