230. To Sigmund Zeisler[1]
Berlin, 28 March 1924
Dear Mr. Zeisler,
Allow me first to thank you warmly for the great kindness of having represented
me in America these past years regarding my business. I now have a new request
of you: Next month our daughter
Ilse[2]
is marrying a local writer, Dr. Rudolf Kay-
ser. I have decided to transfer over to her my American savings as a
dowry.[3]
Therefore, please take those steps you deem necessary in order to have my assets
there transferred to Mrs. Ilse Kayser, 7 Traunsteiner St. Also please, in the future,
kindly accept instructions from my daughter Ilse regarding the disposition of the
capital and interest. I hope you and your dear
wife[4]
are in the best of health. I was
so sorry that I could not see you during your stay in
Europe.[5]
With cordial regards, also to your dear wife and your
sons,[6]
yours,
P. S. It would be agreeable to my daughter if she were sent the interest every year,
if possible over the course of the summer, provided this is feasible.

Jerusalem,[1]

lease of the library of the late Baron David de Günzberg, purchased some years ago
for the University of
Jerusalem.[2]
After having had an opportunity to study the problems of the new university di-
rectly on location, on the occasion of my most recent stay in Palestine, I am con-
vinced that the expansion of the existing University Library, and specifically, its
Hebrew and Oriental Department, corresponds to an urgent cultural need and that
