Autograph Note Signed by Shaul Tchernichovsky – Letter of Recommendation for Benzion Netanyahu
A note handwritten and signed by Shaul Tchernichovsky, with a recommendation to meet with Benzion Netanyahu. [Palestine, 1938?].
The note reads: "Dear sir, I ask your honor to meet with Mr. B. Netanyahu (the former editor of the official journal 'HaYarden' and today the editor of 'HaSifriya HaMedinit', which publishes Herzl's and Nordau's writings) to discuss a literary venture he would like to propose. I am sure such a meeting will be most beneficial. With great honor, Dr. Shaul Tchernichovsky" (Hebrew).
According to an official announcement published by Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's office after a visit to the Nili Museum in 2016, Shaul Tchernichovsky wrote the recommendation in 1938, when Benzion Netanyahu was only 28 years old, in order to help him meet with Alexander Aarosohn (presumably, for publishing a historical work about the Nili Organization).
