His book Yechahen Pe'er was published two years later, in 1936, by his sons, who wrote in their foreword about their father's strong desire to see the book published. This desire is indeed reflected in this letter, which was written in his last year of life from his sickbed.  On the margins of the letter, the Rav of Bendin added a blessing for Passover: ”בחג כשר ושמח”.
