ALS in Hebrew, signed “D. Ben-Gurion,” one page, lightly-lined, 5 x 8.5, State of Israel letterhead, July 8, 1967. Letter to an employee at the Sdeh Boker academy, an Israeli kibbutz in the South District of Israel, founded in 1952. From 1963, it was the home of the first Prime Minister of Israel David Ben Gurion until his passing in 1973. In part: "I know well… of your difficulties; unfortunately I am troubled for many days… I went to Sde Boker, but only for a few moments, I did not see anyone. Not even my grandchild that is there now… in a week or two…I will also know what is going to be in my meeting… Your resignation is hard to digest, and we could not easily find a person that could work with the kind of devotion and talent you have. I ask you to stay in your job - and I will see how we can help in any matter.” Bisecting mailing folds, missing lower right corner tip, and a bit of mild toning, otherwise fine condition. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RRAuction COA.
