Vienna 18.11.1901 Letter from Herzl. My esteemed colleague, Mr. Dr. Bernstein-Cohen, wants to know clearly that the minutes of the AC meeting contain four excerpts that imply that post offices will fill the place. The Viennese AC is not going to make any decision about the big AC, and we are bringing here his request with the addition of a note that already, according to the first sections, we can see that this is not a decision but a free exchange of ideas. Mr. Herzl only moderately. By doing so, the decision to conciliate was unanimous.
On the other hand, no objections were reached. From here we think we are entitled to express our opinion to the Assembly regarding the proposal. We agree with Dr. Bernstein-Cohen that this question of the pre-election of representatives from Russia will be brought to a final decision, but we also say that Ussishkin was a member of the committee of the big AC.
Herz.
