A work that was suppressed by Gerrer Chassidim who maintained that it included private correspondence not intended for public knowledge. Particularly controversial are two letters (pp. 48-50) concerning the Sephath Emeth before he became the official Rebbe. Regarding the editor Dzubas, a resident scholar at Sir Moses Montefiore’s Ramsgate estate, see his autobiography, Zichronoth Mene'urai Ve'ad Heinah (1944) esp. pp. 25-26 concerning this particular work.
