Letter and notes of Divrei Torah and stories of Chasidim, handwritten by the Rebbe of Alexander, Rabbi Yehuda Moshe Tahiberg, author of the Emunat Moshe.
The letter is addressed to "Harav Hachasid R' Noach" [probably R' Noach Gad Weintraub], in which he copies short words from his brother Rabbi Avraham Shraga Tahiberg, who survived, together with his wife and two sons, from the Nazi hell in Lodz, Poland. The Rebbe requested of his to "make a place for these Torah thoughts in one of the booklets that you print".
In the notes, the Rebbe writes tales of Chasidim, told by the Ba'al Shem Tov and the Rebbes of Alexander.
Rabbi Moshe Yehuda Tahiberg (1893-1973, Encyclopedia of Chasidut B, pages 43-44) was a son-in-law of Rabbi Bezael Ya'ir Danziger. He made aliya to Jerusalem, and after the holocaust, in which most of the Rebbes of Alexander were murdered, he was appointed as Rebbe.

On pages 1-3 - preface from 1926, in which the head of the Yeshivah tells the students, that apparently there is no need to lecture about morals to the students in Unsdorf Yeshivah, because it is obvious that the young men come to study in Unsdorf only to study the Torah as there are no gardens nor orchards to enjoy walks, like in other sities. The head of the Yeshivah continues to tell his students that he was offered positions as a Rabbi and Av Beit-Din, but he prefers to toil in the Yeshivah, in a city where he is not burdened with matters of the community.
The Rosh Yeshivah is Ha-Gaon Rabbi Yosef Yonah Horowitz, whom the writer names "Admo'r Ha-Avrech Shalit'a".The grandson of the Gaon Rabbi Shmuel Rosenberg writer of "Be'er Shmuel" (died in 1918). In the text appear many citations in the name of "Admo'r Zi''a" author of "Be'er Shmuel".
On page 49 he writes about "the Zionists who wish to go to Eretz Yisrael not for Heaven's sake but rather the opposite to build teatere[=theatres] and so forth…"
In last pages, there is a sermon heard from Rabbi Me'ir Shapira, founder of the Daf Yomi Movement. This sermon was said the day after Rabbi Moshe Chaim Lau was appointed as Rabbi of that city. (Rav Moshe Chaim Lau, may the L-rd revenge his blood, was appointed in 1927 as Rabbi in Pressov Slovakia, before replacing his cousin Rabbi Meir Shapira in Pietrekov. His son is Rabbi Yisrael Meir Lau, Chief Rabbi of Israel and Tel Aviv-Jaffa).
