Lengthy Halachic letter in handwriting and signature of the Ga’on Rabbi Moshe Feinstein, to Rabbi Chaim Mednick [rabbi in Chicago]. New York, Adar [1947].

The letter contains an interesting description of his busy daily schedule as Rosh Yeshiva and Halachic authority: “… please be informed, my friend, that I am barely available since I am in the Yeshiva the entire day, and New York is a large metropolitan; so even the few who come to discuss Torah matters are many…”.
Lengthy letter, written on both sides (approx. 50 lines). 27 cm. Good-fair condition, stains, mildew and folding marks.
