Chaim Weizmann - Long Handwritten Letter to Rabbi Gaster containing a description of the Intense Work he does regarding Zionist Matters - English - 1915
Long, handwritten letter on official stationery to Rabbi Gaster.

Among others, Weizmann mentions his meeting with the baron Rothschild on an important and discrete matter and an additional meeting with Sokolov.
Weizmann ends the letter stating that for weeks, he has not had one day of peace and quiet.
