- 2 pages. Translated Summary: Ambulance that the JPFO has ordered for Palestine for quoted $2,900 is now ready including the requested dedication. However production costs make the actual total $4,436. Whille American Red Mogen Dovid for Israel will honor its quote, the request is for the JPFO to meet the actual costs.

- Notes:
- The Jewish People’s Fraternal Order was the largest ‘national’ section of the International Workers Order (IWO) which focused on cultural awareness and celebration, mutual support especially in health insurance coverage, and anti-fascist activities. The IWO also gave particular emphasis to supporting the rights and interests of African Americans.
