Mr. Germain Seligmann, c/o Jacques Seligmann & Company, Inc., 3 East 51st Street, New York City. Dear Mr. Seligmann: I am a very tired man as I write this letter. Months of continuous labor in raising Federation's deficit literally wears one out physically. I assume that many people think we have done well to have raised about $1,400,000. already, but about $500,000. to go is still a long way from our goal. There is really little to say; it is all so obvious and has been said so many times. In 1930 you were kind enough the give Federation a special donation of $50. towards its deficit. Lord knows it is difficult to repeat in 1931 the amounts given in 1930. I beg of you if at all possible to make the sacrifice involved in contributing at least as much this year as you did last year. Thank you. Sincerely yours, Samuel D. Leidesdorf Chairman Business Men's Council SDL.K Telephone: BRyant 9-7130
