1. Letter by Rabbi Ya'akov Halpern, founder of "Zichron Meir" neighborhood and very close to the Chazon Ish. Nissan 1953. In the letter addressed to Rabbi Ya'akov Pinchas Shir of Chuassah transit camp, the writer sends money for the Yeshivah in this camp.
2. Letter by Rabbi Zelig Ha-Cohen Shapira to Rabbi Ya'akov Pinchas Shir regarding construction of a Mikveh, Sivan 1953. Official stationery of Merkaz Taharat Ha-Mishpachah.
