Letter from the Yenuka of Karlin-Stolin, Rebbe Yisrael Perlow. Stolin, summer 1906.

Written by a scribe, with the signature of the rebbe – "Yisrael son of R. Asher". Letter addressed to a relative, R. Asher Levi – confirming the receipt of the telegram informing of the improvement in his state of health, with blessings for a complete recovery, reaching a ripe old age, and satisfaction from his offspring.

Rebbe Yisrael Perlow of Karlin-Stolin, known as "the Yenuka" (1868-1921), was orphaned from his father R. Asher of Stolin in his childhood, and was appointed rebbe at the young age of four and a half (!). He passed away at the age of 53, and was buried in Frankfurt (thus earning the appellation of "the Frankfurter" amongst Karlin Chassidim).
