Correspondence Between Ze'ev Jabotinsky and Keren Hayesod Regarding a Speech - 1929 - First letter: Written on paper of the National Committee of Keren Hayesod, addressed to Ze'ev Jabotinsky, dated June 7, 1929. The letter is an invitation to Jabotinsky, who is one of the ”best speakers in the country, ” to speak at the committee's meeting in Tel Aviv. They ask for his consent so that ”we can publish his name in advertisements.” Fair condition: stains, tears. Second letter: Handwritten on official Jabotinsky paper, dated June 21, 1929, and addressed to Dr. Helfman. In the letter, Jabotinsky refuses to deliver a speech, for several reasons, including that ”the Jerusalem audience has heard me several times and I am not an attraction”, and ”What do I and Keren Hayesod have to do since it was decided that non-Zionists will rule it in the future? Allow me to ask this too: What does it matter to Dr. Hantke, Mr. Yaffe and all of you, who will rummage in boxes and people without a spark in their hearts will do with this money as they please”. The letter is signed by Jabotinsky. Good condition, stains.
