CHAGALL, Marc (1887–1985). Autograph letter, Boulogne-sur-Seine, [late] 1928, to Hermann STRUCK in Haifa; 1¼ pages, in-4 format, with envelope; in Yiddish. Note: [The German painter Hermann STRUCK (1876–1944) settled in Palestine in 1923.] Regarding his brother-in-law Isaac Noah ROSENFELD, born in Vitebsk in 1886 (brother of his wife Bella), a doctor who graduated from Lugano, Switzerland, and who wishes to settle in Palestine. Chagall asks Struck if it would be possible to obtain a visa for him and his wife, even though he had been told that visas were handled by the administrative center in Palestine. He updates Struck on his own situation: he is working on illustrations for La Fontaine’s Fables, before moving on to those for the Prophets. He, too, would like to travel to Palestine, perhaps for Passover. He adds that his brother-in-law is a very good doctor and a very good Jew.
