[Hebrew] [?] August 1st

Rev. Dr S. Morais Pha

Dear friend and colleague

I am very much interested in the derivations of the words "Livorno and Leghorn" names of your natal city.
A. Mr [Hebrew] writes in the [Hebrew] page 144 [Hebrew]
I gave you many years ago Rappoports [Hebrew] [Hebrew] and I do not remember what he says about [Hebrew] in reference to Rabbi Nathans ex-planation [Hebrew] I think that the Latin name Liburnus Portus (for Livorno) and libŭm (cake) have some connection,, (has any one suggested this? I hope not.) but I cannot guess at the Italian [Hebrew].

My questions are:
1) Can you find any connection between "Livre and Livorno to justify [Hebrew]?
2) Can you find any connection between Leghorn and [Hebrew] (cake) to justify the term [Hebrew]?
3) Is any tradition at your natal home in regard to that great [Hebrew]!
Please answer! and copy for me Rappaports explanation
God bless you!
from your true friend
A S Bettelheim
