[Letter from I. Markowitz to D. W. Kempner, September 27, 1918]
Letter from Ike Markowitz to D. W. Kempner providing what information he knows about their grandparents. He expresses hope that Dan will be able to send money to several family members in Europe and says that he has sent $2000, but has not been able to confirm that it's gotten to them. He suggests sending any monetary aid through the Red Cross if possible. He also tells him that Dave Cohen should be able to tell him the names and residences of the Cohen family, and asks him to tell him if he finds out as he has been very worried about them. A list of relatives living in the European War Zone is attached.
