David Ben-Gurion – Two Autograph Letters – Sde Boker, 1960s
Two autograph letters, hand-signed by David Ben-Gurion. Sde Boker, 1964 and 1966.
Two letters to the author and playwright Israel Gold. In a letter from 1966 Ben-Gurion refers to Gold's book "The Refugee" and writes "…I am saying that if I were asked whether to publish this book it would have been difficult for me to give a positive answer" (Hebrew).
[2] leaf (thin paper), approx. 21 cm. Good overall condition. A number of small tears at margins of leaves. Torn filing holes at margins of both letters (slightly affecting the text of one letter). Bottom right corner of one leaf is lacking (no text omission).
Creases and folding marks. Stains.
