KOOK, ABRAHAM ISAAC

Autograph Letter Signed on personal headed paper

2 pages on 2 leaves . To Y.H. Farbstein of The Jewish Agency. Bitterly complains of "robbery" by The Jewish Agency since their decision to abolish a budget for religious activities. The Rabbi insists the money is vital to prevent the religious activities of the Yishuv from disappearing. He threatens to contact Mizrachi and the Agudath Harabanim in America to withhold Jewish Agency unless the matter is resolved. Concludes with a two-day dead-line for a satisfactory response
