Letter handwritten and signed by R. Baruch HaLevi Horowitz Rabbi of Aleksot (Aleksotas), dean of the Slabodka yeshiva in Lithuania. [Aleksot, a suburb of Kovno], Tammuz 1934.
Addressed to R. Yaakov Landau Rabbi of Libau (later rabbi of Bnei Brak), in response to his question regarding the elections to the rabbinate of the town of Gorzd (Gargždai, Western Lithuania). R. Baruch (then president of Agudath HaRabbanim in Lithuania) writes that a permit from Agudath HaRabbanim is not required, and that the organization only authorizes the correct implementation of the elections.

R. Baruch HaLevi Horowitz (1870-1936), leading Lithuanian Torah scholar, dean of the Slabodka yeshiva and head of Agudath HaRabbanim in Lithuania. A disciple of the Alter of Slabodka.
