TLS in Hebrew, one page, 6.5 x 9, State of Israel letterhead, November 8, 1949. Letter to Prof. Heinrich Loewe, at the Municipal Library in Tel-Aviv. In full: “I would first like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your warm wishes for my birthday and for the day of dedication of the new Institute. No wishes can move my heart as much as the loyal wishes of a friend from my youth like you. How very sorry I was learning that, due to your exhaustion, you could not come and see the opening of the new Institute. I am certain that it would have given you great satisfaction. On such happy days, I recall all those persons within whom I have worked since then, and I also recall your affable personality. May you be blessed for your good wishes, and I wish you a ripe old age, until the age of 120 years.” Punch holes to left edge, and some scattered light toning and foxing, otherwise fine condition.

Dr. Heinrich Loewe (1869-1951), an early German Zionist, organized Zionist societies in Berlin and edited Zionist periodicals. In 1892, at the age of 18, Chaim Weizmann moved to Berlin to continue his studies. There he was guided by Loewe in his Zionist education. In 1933, after 34 years as the librarian at the Berlin University, Loewe became the director of the Sha’ar Zion Library in Tel-Aviv.
