"I do not have a single penny here" - a letter from Menachem Ussishkin to Chaim Weizmann
A postcard in the handwriting and signature of Menachem Ussishkin was sent to Chaim Weizmann from Kissingen (Germany) to Manchester (England) on August 6, 1904, about a month after Herzl's death.
Although the two great Zionist leaders were at the height of their public activity (in those days Ussishkin headed the committee that purchased land in the Land of Israel and sold it to private individuals, Weizmann headed the information department of the Zionist faction in Geneva) their economic situation was difficult. The two planned to meet about a week later in Vienna. Ussishkin asks Weitzman to get the fare to Vienna on his own, and in Vienna he will try to help him with the amount he needs, because in his place in Germany he does not have a single penny! And advises him to make the route to Vienna via The Hague and Cologne.
