Arranroots - thank you so much for putting me in touch with "seamike". He has translated the letters for me and I have attached the translation.
If anyone knows any of the names referred to in these letters - could you please get in touch.
... London? Does it make sense if I compose Russian library for you? You can arrange a library in your appartment and earn good money by this. As for advertising I will arrange it myself. I will publish in all Russian foreigh newspapers. Maybe you have a good friend who is well versed in Russian literature ... you can work together ..., that library will give good income, of course if it is composed correctly.
So, wish you good health, my dear brother
I hope that you have understood me and will write to me
My kisses to you and your children, yours Isidor
My wife sends her greetings to you. She is at home now, and I write this at (my) shop. In next letter she will write herself
