Description

Ben-Gurion implores an employee to stay

ALS in Hebrew, signed “D. Ben-Gurion,” one page, lightly-lined, 4.75 x 8.25, July 8, 1967. Letter to an employee at the Sde Boker Academy, the kibbutz where Ben-Gurion lived from 1963 until his death. In part (translated): “I know well…of your difficulties; unfortunately I am troubled for many days…I went to Sde Boker, but only for a few days, I did not see anyone. Not even my grandchild that is there now…Your resignation is hard to digest, and we could not easily find a person that could work with the kind of devotion and talent you have. I ask you to stay in your job—and I will see how we can help in any matter.” Archivally double-matted and framed. Central vertical and horizontal folds, light creases, and small paper loss to lower corner, otherwise fine condition. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
