Handwritten Letter – Rehovot, 1883 – Wine-Cellar Construction
Handwritten letter to Hovevey Zion committee in Jaffa. Rehovot, 1883.
Letter of response to the committee's question, when will the Moshava people settle their debt. The need to construct a wine-cellar is raised: "the cellar is the base for our hopes for the future…when we have a cellar we shall be able to repay our debt…". In the letter are mentioned "Menucha VeNachala" society that has been established by a group of Hovevey Zion as well as the grapevines growing in the Moshavah. Letter signed by a dozen of Rehovot's settlers. Leaf 27 cm written on both sides. Fair condition. Tears and stains.
