- Lot Description
Lot of 2. Ben-Gurion, David (1886-1973). Founder of the State of Israel and its first Prime Minister (1948-1953, 1955-1963). ALS, 1p, Tel Aviv, Israel, 5.5 x 7.25 in. November 17, 1964. Written in Hebrew with later translation. Ben-Gurion appears to be responding to a government crisis, writing that the purity of the State should come before any impure government (translation quoted).
DS, 2pp, Jerusalem, Israel, 8.25 x 13 in. December 5, 1956. Written in Hebrew, regarding the relationship of Israel with Honduras. Also signed by Izhak Ben-Zvi (1884-1963) as President of Israel (1952-1963). Accompanied by a copy of the document in French, 2pp, unsigned. A translation of the French copy indicates this is a letter of introduction for General David Shaltiel, who is appointed Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to Honduras from the State of Israel.
