Menachem Ussishkin – Letter concerning Purchase of Lands for Agricultural Purposes in Eretz Israel – Yekaterinoslav, 1907
Menachem Ussishkin, a handwritten letter. Written on official stationery ("member of the Zionist Congress Executive Board"). Yekaterinoslav (Ukraine), February 1907. Russian.
Ussishkin advises the receiver of the letter, Ilya Abramovitch, about acquiring lands in Eretz Israel: "I congratulate your society. It is definitely for the benefit of settlement. Members of the society ensure their future… a bill of sale, a document of purchase, in the name of your society is impossible to achieve…I would suggest that the society purchase lands near Lod or Petach Tikva…instruct "Geula" and it will acquire lands for you (we have already agreements, just waiting for the bill of sale)".
[4] pp (three written pages), 22 cm. Good condition. Minor spotting. Central folding mark. A stamp with the word "Zion" pasted to the first page.
