[Letter from I. H. Kempner to William M. Nathan, May 17, 1945]
Letter from I. H. Kempner to William M. Nathan replying to his most recent letter and explaining why he feels that a poll sent through a letter would accomplish the same task as a meeting of all the co-chairmen to discuss the land for the Hillel Building. He notes that Nathan's most recent letter suggests a new reason for a meeting which Kempner can understand but still believes it should wait until they hire individuals to canvas smaller areas of the state for donations.
