Tzvi Hirsch Masliansky (1856-1943), Zionist activist and "National Preacher" in America. The letter is a response to Mr. Y. C. Cohen Lask of London, who asked him to appoint "agents" for "The Jew" journal (edited by Yitzchak Sovlasky) in America.

Additional issues. Official stationery. Leaf 27 cm, written on both sides. Good condition, few stains, wear to margins and folding marks.
