A letter handwritten and signed by Rabbi Avraham Yisrael Moshe Solomon, Rabbi of Kharkiv, to Rabbi Avraham Yeshaya Karelitz author of the Chazon Ish. Jerusalem, motzei Rosh Hashana 1948.

He writes of the various concerns of Shabbat desecration and other problems which are liable to arise from this decree. He writes the letter in the name of the Association for Saving Religion in Jerusalem. [The content and style of the letter are characteristic to the policy of public affairs led by the Brisker Rabbi, the Griz Soloveichik with whom Rabbi Solomon maintained intimate contact].
Inscribed on the reverse side of the leaf is a "kvittel" in the handwriting of the Chazon Ish that he wrote to himself, with the name of a sick woman on whose behalf he wished to pray.
