A letter by Rebbe Avraham Elimelech Perlow, Pinsk Karlin, [Iyar 1933].
The letter was a response to the Ma'amadot money sent by the Chassidim in Eretz Yisrael, and this is what he writes: "I did not imagine that after the whole winter that cost them much money, they would send again, and at first, I thought I would return the money, afterwards, I thought that they might consider this as a humiliation, therefore I accepted it and attached are all the receipts". In the continuation of the letter, the Rebbe inquires about the health and livelihood of his Chassidim and blesses the recipient "that he should merit giving in peace and plenty and rest from all distress and he should hear only good news¦ the one who blesses him and mentions him for good and blessing at all times, Avraham Elimelech".
Rebbe Avraham Elimelech Perlow (1891-1943, Encyclopedia L'Chassidut A, Page 97), was the most renowned of the six sons of the Rebbe HaYanuka, Rabbi Yisrael of Stolin (The Frankfurter). Most of his father's Chassidim in Russia and Eretz Yisrael flocked after him and to prevent controversy with the Chassidim of his brother Rabbi Moshe of Stolin, he moved his court to Karlin near Pinsk. He established the Karlin Yeshiva in Luninitz. He and his descendants perished in the Holocaust.
14X21.5 cm. Good condition, folding marks and file holes.
