Letter handwritten and signed by R. Moshe Feinstein. New York, 9th Kislev 1973.
Call to assist the Kaminetz Yeshiva in building a bomb shelter in the aftermath of the 1973 Yom Kippur War: "The Kaminetz Yeshiva in Jerusalem is well-known… R. Yitzchak Sheiner has now arrived here from Jerusalem… regarding a very urgent matter of life and death concerning the yeshiva students, i.e. building a bomb shelter for protection during war, which they do not have. Although we trust G-d that he will bestow peace, this is still important…". R. Moshe ends with a blessing for those who will donate to this cause.
