[Letter from William M. Nathan to I. H. Kempner, February 20, 1945]
Letter from William M. Nathan to I. H. Kempner explaining that he met with Rabbi Friedman who has signed the option document to buy the property for the new Hillel building. He states that the Baptist church is closing a deal for a property nearby which increases the plot's value for Hillel because it allows for more interfaith relations. He also mentions that he cannot make it to Galveston for a meeting in the coming week because he needs to catch up on business, personal matters, and other B'nai B'rith issues that he missed while away from home.
