January 10, 1927, Mr. Sem Beber, 301 Peters Trust Bldg., Omaha, Nebraska. Dear Brother Beber:- This acknowledges the receipt of your letter of January 3rd. In e. day or two I will send you some material on Spinoza which I hope will be satisfactory. However, if you get a copy of Zangwill's "Dreamers of the Ghetto" and read the story of "The Maker of Lenses", that is all that you really want, but we will get some advance copies of the February number of our Hagazine, which will contain a contribution on Spinoza, and send them to you too. New in regard to the A.Z.A. and the Manual. I want to call your attention to page 329, where we have a special paragraph on the Junior Auxiliaries. You must realize that while this is 8. B'nai B'rith Manual we had to comprise the entire history of the Order within a few pages, but I am fully satisfied that the A.Z.A. received due attention. In the next edition I hope we will be able to say a great deal more, but as you know, so far the Constitution Grand Lodge has given very little money to the A.Z.A. and for that reason, besides others, how could we feature it more than say the National Jewish Hospite 1 for Consumptives, or any other institution that has a history counted by decades. But I am glad that you are protesting because it is only through protest that we make progress, and I an for progress now and forever. I would be very glad to supply the Manuals to all the members of the A.Z.A.. Unfortunately we de not have the machinery. What do you think of sending then to the Chapters? If you tell m the names and address of the Secretaries and the number of copies you want to send, we shall be glad to allocate a thousand copies as you request. With best regards, I am Sincerely and fraternally yours, BDB/R Secretary.
