ALS signed “L. D. B.,” four pages on two sheets, 4.5 x 7, Supreme Court letterhead, March 27, 1928. Brandeis writes to Irvin and Bob. In part: “You letters have come since I wrote and telegraphed…. I cannot add anything in my letter … by way of explanation of a decision which seems to me imperative. In view of what you say, it seems clear that the April 15 meeting I would ask be held in Washington. On the other hand I remain firm in my conviction that the conference should be held…. I am not of the opinion that failure of election of a new board is probable…. But I feel certain that the best fight possible should be made; that it is necessary that it should be made more necessary to save the souls of the group, of our friends and of the Zionists of America—I might add of the Jews of America. Neither the eloquence … nor the threats of H. and his allies should prevent the effort being made. I think the situation quite different from what it was in 1920—and for a few years thereafter…. We had then a situation where it seemed that the flow of money to Palestine was an essential of continued existence…” In fine condition, with punch hole to top edge affecting a few words. R&R COA.
