Letter handwritten and signed by Rabbi Haim Ozer Grodzinsky. Partially missing.
On official letterhead, from 1931. On issues of the yeshiva and medical subjects. The upper right corner (25%) is missing (the date and most of the content are present). Tears in the margins. Rabbi Haim Ozer Grodzinsky (1863-1940) was one of the leaders of the Lithuanian Torah world, Rabbi of Vilna (despite not serving as its official Rabbi, as no official Rabbi was appointed to Vilna after the Vilna Gaon's death, out of respect for him). President of the Moetzet Gedolei HaTorah and author of the book of responsa Shu"t Achiezer. Considered the leader of Lithuanian Orthodox Jewry at a time when great Rabbis such as the Chafetz Chaim and Rabbi Chaim of Brisk were alive. The Chafetz Chaim referred to him as "the president of the Jewish people". | 25cm. Generally bad to ok condition.
