18th Kislev, 1927

Autograph Letter Signed, in Hebrew, to his uncle, Rabbi Meir Berlin concernig the publication of his father’s writings “Chidushei Rabbeini Chaim Halevi” (on Maimonides)

Contains interesting information concerning the history of the publication of R. Chaim’s work. Although not published until 1936 due to lack of funds, the work had been ready for publication since 1927. Rabbi Soloveitchik implores his uncle to influence Rabbi Teitelbaum of the Joint to help finance publication. The work “which is needed by the whole world” will also aid in the support of the family of his brother, Yisrael Gershon, ”whose life depends on this.”
