Autograph letter, hand-signed by Chaim Weizmann, addressed to Iliya Abramovich [probably Eliyahu Berlin]. Written on official letterhead stationery of the "Zionist Commission for Palestine". [Palestine], May 25, 1918. Russian.
A letter, concerning financial matters, which mentions, among others, Zalman David Levontin. Weizmann wrote this letter in the year when he came to Palestine as head of the "Zionist Commission", which was formed to create a relation between the British authorities and the Jewish Yishuv in Palestine, and to create a solid base for the application of the "Balfour Declaration".
The recipient of the letter is, most probably, Eliyahu [Iliya] Berlin (1886-1959), an industrialist and Zionist activist who served as a member in the Provisional State Council and was one of the signatories of the Independence Scroll.
[1] leaf, 13.5X21 cm. Good condition. Vertical folding mark and some creases. Some slight stains and minute tears at margins.
