Moshe Shertok Signed Jewish Agency Political Letter. This remarkable letter, dated May 3, 1935, is penned by Moshe Shertok, written on the official stationery of the Jewish Agency for Palestine headquarters in Jerusalem. Shertok, renowned as the head of the Political Department during this era, played a pivotal role in shaping the intelligence infrastructure of the Yishuv (Jewish community in pre-state Israel). He formulated strategies for Arab relations and laid the groundwork for the Yishuv's intelligence system, including the management of agents and informers.Addressed to J.L. Cohen, Esq. of 82 Baker Street, London, W.1., the letter introduces Mr. Daniel Yaffe, Secretary of the Central Tnuva, who is embarking on a B.Sc. course at the School of Economics in London. Shertok highlights Yaffe's extensive experience in Palestine and his profound understanding of the country's economics. He emphasizes the importance of supporting Yaffe, not only for his personal growth but also for the future of Palestine's endeavors. Shertok subtly suggests that Yaffe could also serve as a valuable source of information for Cohen's own purposes.This letter not only offers a glimpse into the professional network and cooperation within the Jewish community during the pre-statehood period but also underscores Shertok's strategic foresight and dedication to advancing the interests of the Yishuv.
