Short article
on Joseph Abrahams, grandson to Pheitl Gabrilowitz. A well known
calligrapher, Abrahams was a Sofer, or Torah scribe. The
article, which appeared in a Journal of Jewish Social Studies,
unfortunately contains three important errors: 1) Ossip was a
Russian-born pianist, not Polish; 2) He was not a grandson of
Pheitl's; and 3) Mark Twain had a single grandchild, Nina Gabrilowitsch.
