A Letter Concerning the War of Independence, 1948
A letter concerning the War of Independence, sent by a person who signed 'Amos', to his friend Yossef, dated 18.04.1948. Handwritten.
The letter details the progress of the front, mentioning that the road to Jerusalem was captured and that food convoys move towards Jerusalem for the approaching holiday of Pesach. The writer tells about the battles in Emek Yizrael and Ramat Yochanan, the augmented arms production and shipments of arms arriving in the country. At the beginning, he mentions the nearing termination of the Mandate and says that this is the last letter since postal services will stop functioning.
[2] leaves, 26 cm. Fair-good condition. Some stains and tears.
