Zionist leader (1860-1945) who worked for the Jewish Publishing Society of America before she founded Hadassah in 1912. TLS in Hebrew, one page, 8.25 x 10.75, The Jewish Agency for Palestine, Central Bureau for the Settlement of German Jews letterhead, February 22, 1937. Letter to David Oumansky, in part (translated): “I cannot avoid touching upon certain side issues. It seems that we have not yet reached an understanding of the administrative relationship between us. It is our opinion that no one being officially involved with us, could publish announcements such as yours, without prior consent of the central directorate. As to its content, I wish to remark upon two points: first, isn’t it clear that we cannot publish an announcement in one paper only? Such discrimination can cost us dearly. Seconds—and you may consider my further words as personal attitude—but you can rely upon my experience in this respect—it is undesirable and useless, mentioning my name. And in your short notice you mentioned my name three times. Such treatment encourages me, but the public should ignore it. Had the announcement been sent already, there may not be a way to remedy the second matter, but I am skiing you to correct the first; please send the notice to other daily newspapers in the country. And as to public statements, I am requesting you to have them first sent to us for mutual deliberation.” In fine condition, with two file holes and rusty paperclip impression. Accompanied by a booklet commemorating the 10th anniversary of Szold's death.
