American Association for Jewish Education - Pilch, Doctor Judah., 1955-1959

Correspondence with Doctor Judah Pilch regarding routine Association and personal matters. Doctor Konvitz informs Pilch that he is leaving for Liberia September 9, 1959. The President of Liberia requested that he travel to Liberia to advise him on labor conditions and labor law. He also received encouragement to travel to Liberia from the Ambassador in Washington and the President of the Firestone Plantations (November 26, 1959). Konvitz mentions that he has been meeting daily from 9-4 with a five-man commission from Liberia to confer with them on the Liberian Code. He expects them to stay in Ithaca for at least a month. He mentions that "the work means a great deal to me, and I am anxious that we do for the Liberian Government and people a first-rate job" (August 26 and September 1955)
