“Dear Perlzweig, In the near future you will hear from one of the truest friends of Israel. He is my beloved friend, Professor Ralph Harlow of Smith College, perhaps the greatest of American colleges for women. I shall ask Mrs. Eitelberg, my Zionist secretary, to send you a copy of a letter he addressed to me from Athens. It will give you the spirit of the man. He is going to be in England during July and August, lecturing. I would like him to meet you; and would you not see to it that he meets other people? Leonard Montefiore, for example, and some of our other friends. Professor Harlow is a great and true friend of Israel. I shall not give him any letter. I am simply sending this one letter to you. I would like him to meet people like Sir Philip and Lady Hartung, that he may see some of our best. With hearty greeting, I am Faithfully yours, Stephen. c/o His address, American Express Co. Haywassett.”
