this society

for which

is enclosed

with my best

be away

for a few days

let me have

a line

or some

more cards


Where did you find these

They were in the book

That I purchased this morning

What was the title of the book

Ivanhoe Green


Did you know

That the main Jewish character

Rebecca,

Is portrayed as brave kind

And deeply faithful to her religion

She acts as morally superior

To many of the Christian knights


My name is also Rebecca

Really it is a beautiful name

Are you Jewish

Many people think that I am

As I have pleasant features

And jet black hair

Which is naturally curly


But as far as I know

I am not Jewish

Indeed my father

Was the rector

Of a small church

In South Lincolnshire


Have you ever

Been to Israel

Rebecca

No

Would you like

To visit Israel

Very much

As it is a beautiful country


Can you remember

Ever reading

Ivanhoe Green

No

Do you intend

To read

Ivanhoe Green

If I have the time

But I am a very busy girl

So the chances are remote


What do you think of the letter

That I found in the book

It is only a small fragment

And really makes very little sense

Although its history fascinates me
