Letter from I. H. Kempner to M. N. Dannenbaum discussing his refusal to participate in the fundraising for the Hillel Fund. He states that he agrees because he is "in the same fix himself." He also explains that he is not the chairman of the statewide drive and that donors are not limited to a donation of $250.00 to join the Founders Club.
