Dear Mr. Pinkwater,

I have just finished reading your biography and I found it very enlightening and educational, however. I would like to make a small correction: “…all of the colonial Jews at the time being Ladino speaking Sephardim”. Should read “…all of the colonial Jews at the time being Sephardic speaking Ladino.” I realize this is a minor point of fact but as I have to much extra time on my hands I thought I would send this email.

Sincerely,

Alec Greenfield

What it ought to say is Ladino-speaking Sephardim. OK?
