ALS, one page, 6 x 7, personal letterhead, November 3, 1940. Letter to to Elisha Friedman, an economic consultant formerly employed by the Treasury Department. In part: “The Ruffin volume is of special interest to me. His early study had been prescribed for me by Henrietta Szold; and I read it in 1914 before the formation of the Provisional Zionist Committee.” In fine condition. With the outbreak of World War I, the Zionist movement's headquarters in Berlin became ineffectual, and American Jewry had to assume larger responsibility for the Zionist movement. When the Provisional Executive Committee for Zionist Affairs was established in New York, Brandeis accepted unanimous election to be its head. In this position from 1914 to 1918, Brandeis was the leader of American Zionism.
