Description

“Pioneers, men of labor and creation who plowed new ways in the history of our people”

TLS in Hebrew, one page, 6 x 7.75, March 24, 1955. Ben-Gurion writes to editor G. Shoken. In full (translated): “In your newspaper you raised a discussion regarding the exact date on which, in your opinion, the anniversary of the second ‘Allyah’ should be celebrated in Petach-Tikva. In my opinion, it is not the serial order that matters but the attention to the pioneers which is the essence of the celebration. Your reporter has not even bothered to thank those pioneers, men of labor and creation who plowed new ways in the history of our people when no other force could; instead the reported supplied a ‘sensation’ to his readers….” Intersecting mailing folds (vertical fold to paraph), small blue pencil secretarial notation, and file holes, otherwise fine condition. RRAuction COA.
