(13) CORRESPONDENCE: Sverdlove, Freda (Freddy) Unger, Personal Correspondence, 16-Jun-1992, Dear Mr. Sverdlove: During last winter, while residing in West Palm Beach, Fla, I had the good fortune to meet and work with Mrs. Zela Reinblatt. When Zela heard my name, she immediately, thought that our family must be part of the family tree that you have developed. My husband is Harry Sverdlove and his father was Zelig Sverdlove. Leon Sverdlove is Harry's brother and my sister-in-law is Lilly Sverdlove. My husband, Harry and his family came to the United States from Montreal, but we do not know any of the Sverdloves from Montreal. We are interested in knowing more about the family tree. We would appreciate hearing from you. Sincerely, Mrs. Freddy Sverdlove, letter to Andrew I. Sverdlove in his possession.
