EMBASSY OF ISRAEL WASHINGTON D.C. No. 10036 November 2, 1949 My dear Mr. President: I wish to thank you for your kindness in signing the photograph of the presentation of the Ark for the Holy Scrolls to you on behalf of my President, Dr. Chaim Weizmann. This memorable photograph will always remain for me a symbol of the historic role you, Mr. President, played in the creation of the State of Israel, a role which I have been privileged to witness as Israel's first Ambassador to your great country. Please accept my deepest feelings of appreciation and respect. Very sincerely yours, E. Elath RECORDS SERVICE" The President The White House Washington, D. C. ee/mf
