Background
Writing to the renowned Jewish-American manuscript collector and Lincoln scholar, Justin G. Turner, at the very start of the Six Day War, Ben-Gurion asks that Turner send him “a copy of the photograph of the 22 friends present at the meeting July 1, 1945” and, seemingly by way of return, asks what book Turner would like for himself and his friends. Ben-Gurion also hopes that Turner’s faith in the IDF, as he hears more about what it is doing, will be strong.
