The book Toldot HaChazon Ish relates that he used to keep in his attic all of the many notes and letters which would accumulate on his table. A frequenter of his home, who requested permission to dispose of the papers, was answered , "the Jew who wrote this put much effort into writing – after all, he is writing of his troubles – how can such a thing be thrown out?" (Maaseh Ish A page 198).
