Maybe You Know if the Cofetz Chaim is in Vilna? Letter by the Mashgi'ach Rabbi Leib Chasman

A letter handwritten and signed by the Gaon of Mussar and Hashkafa, Rabbi Leib Chasman. The letter was sent to Vilna to the house of Maran Rabbi Chaim Ozer Grodzinsky, addressed to Rabbi Yosef Shuv, referring to the activity of Va'ad HaYeshivas of Vilna, the trip of the Gaon Rabbi Chaim Ozer of Vilna and a visit of the Chofetz Chaim.


The letter was written on an official postcard and was sent in Tamuz 1926. Rabbi Leib Chasman writes about the aciivity of Va'ad HaYeshivas in his area and about methods for making fundraising more efficient.


Later, he asks Rabbi Yosef Shuv, the confidante of Maran Rabbi Chaim Ozer 'why had he not informed me about the results of his trip to Radin as he had promised and whether the Gaon Rabbi Chaim Ozer has already travelled to Vilna...'

At the end of the letter, he also asks 'whether you know if the Tzaddik Gaon the Rim [Rabbi Yisroel Meir, the Chofez Chaim] Shlita is staying these days in Vilna'.
