In full (translated): “After writing to you on January 8, 1964 with my remarks, I stumbled by chance upon collections of my writings published while I was in ‘exile’ in the U.S.A. and I found two items: 1) a letter I published in the ‘Tag’ on August 29, 1916, a strong denunciation against the agreement with Hebrew date…2) a pamphlet in favor…of ‘Der Yiddishe’…against the agreement signed by Executive Board of the…Congress League: Dr. Yitzhak ‘Isaac’ Hurvitch, Chairman, D. Ben-Gurion, Secretary, Dr. S. Melamed, Chairman of the Press Committee. Dated according to the Hebrew calendar on the 21st day of Elul 5676 [September 19, 1916]. I did not write to you in order to change the date, but just to let you know.” In very good condition, with uniform toning, scattered creases and wrinkles, and a few edge tears and areas of paper loss. Accompanied by the original transmittal envelope addressed in Ben-Gurion’s hand.
