From the hidden treasures of the Chazon Ish! — lengthy letter, two pages, in-depth Hilchot Mikvaot, in the Holy Handwriting and signature of the Chazon Ish — never printed! Explanation of the opinion of the Raavad regarding the matter of ”נתן סאה ונטל סאה” He explains the view of the Divrei Chaim of Sanz, yet writes that the Sefer “is not in my possession” The letter is undated, but since he mentions in it (at the end of the first page) his Sefer Chazon Ish Mikvaot Tenina, it appears to have been written in his later years. At the conclusion of his letter, after the halachic analysis, the Chazon Ish writes: “That the waters are clear does not guarantee protection from contact with a contagious skin disease, but I do not, in essence, fear this. Rather, my intent is that it is not proper to base the matter on the presumption of secrecy, for were the concern to be raised, it would stimulate anxiety among the women immersing, and the Health Ministry would object, and only by our good fortune has this not drawn attention, nor has it been discussed, and it has been permitted.” He further writes there at the end: “Indeed, the case concerns the fastidious ones who sit in their homes and do not come to visit the mikveh at all, and those standing at the threshold of the Yetzer Hora.” He concludes: ”ואחתום שלו' וברכה, הדבוק באהבתו, דוש”ת אי”ש” [Regarding the Chazon Ish’s remark that the Divrei Chaim was “not in my possession, ” see HaChazon Ish B'Dorotov, p. 148, which notes that when the Chazon Ish wrote in his Sefarim that a given Sefer was not in his possession, it does not necessarily mean that it was not in his house at the time — it may have been present, but due to physical weakness he lacked the strength to go to the bookshelf to open it.] 2 leaves.
