TLS in Hebrew, signed “D. Ben-Gurion,” one page, 6.25 x 8, State of Israel letterhead, March 16, 1956. Letter to the Minister of Education and Culture. In part, “Unfortunately, habits that were created and accumulated over the course of hundreds of years are being lost in the Diaspora. They are not erased because of a flight from Yemen or Iraq to Israel, either. A change in physical position from the Diaspora to the homelands is not enough by itself to learn the habits of governmental responsibility that are part and parcel of what independence is, and in addition that this is not accomplished in one day.” In fine condition, with two punch holes to right edge and bisecting mailing folds. R&R COA.
