A letter of thanks to the management of the association on his election as committee member and two letters regarding his resignation from the membership of the association due to "the heavy dispute between Tadchatz and Pagi (Po'alei Agudat Israel), and another letter. In one letter he writes: "I am resigning from my position and hope that he will give me the benefit of the doubt… not all opinions coincide and I wish to flee from dispute and be pursued (rather than pursue)".
