ALS in German, signed “Ch. Weizmann,” four pages on two adjoining sheets, 5.25 x 7, Hotel Plaza Athenee letterhead, January 17, 1925. Weizmann, one of the founders of the modern Zionist movement and the first President of Israel, writes this important letter on the development of his efforts to a supporter in Wiesbaden. In part, loosely translated: “Our movement has grown so much it now comprises a cross-section of the Jewish Community. It is no longer the Chosen Ones who support the movement but a larger wave; therefore you can’t expect much. Sometimes it appears that you are working for people with whom you do not have a lot in common, but this is only an illusion…it is a long and difficult road, and only a few have trodden it. But the few who make it will carry the others.” In fine condition, with some trivial scattered toning. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope, filled out in Weizmann’s hand. Weizmann letters with Zionist context of are rare. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
