Letter from the Gaon Rabbi Shneur Kotler, Head of the Lakewood Yeshiva. 1963.

“My sister, Rebbetzin T. is planning a short visit to Israel to take care of the editing of [my father’s] writings and their arrangement for publishing…”.

Air missive, 22x19 cm. Good condition, filing holes and folding marks.
