Partial Transcript:

“Since I will be in the States during the second half of November I shall try and call you. May be we can get together and, after I give you a full report about Mari and Jim Michener’s activities in Israel, you can tell me all that has happened in the States since I last visited.”

Jim Michener is probably James A. Michener (1907-1997), the American novelist. Beham was Director of the Israeli Tourism Office and the Israel Museum.
