jan 2, 1915 - Professor Alexander sent him a note reintroducing
me and received in reply a postcard on which
Balfour had scribbled: ‘Dear Sam: Weizmann
needs no introduction, I still remember our
conversation in 1906.’ When I walked into
Balfour’s office In London—he hailed me with:
‘Well, you haven’t changed much since we
met.’... ‘You know, I was thinking of that
conversation of ours, and I believe that when
the guns stop firing you may get your
Jerusalem.’
Trial And Error by Chaim Weizmann pg. 195
Description:
I followed up at once Lloyd George’s suggestion about seeing Balfour. Professor Alexander, with whom Balfour was acquainted as a brother philosopher, sent him a note reintroducing me and received in reply a postcard on which Balfour had scribbled: ‘Dear Sam: Weizmann needs no introduction, I still remember our conversation in 1906.’ When I walked into Balfour’s office In London—he was then First Lord of the Admiralty—he hailed me with: ‘Well, you haven’t changed much since we met.’ And, almost without a pause, ‘You know, I was thinking of that conversation of ours, and I believe that when the guns stop firing you may get your Jerusalem.’
