Sarel Gutman

Sarel Gutman ran a mail service out of the Prague ghetto to Vienna, 160 miles away. She was in business together with her husband and it was set up mostly to facilitate the Gutman's own communication with each other, since her husband, Loeb, was often in Vienna on business. One of her letters written on November 22, 1619 is preserved in the collection of Prague ghetto letters, and is one of the few Jewish letters in the collection that relates the political developments of the day.
