Two letters handwritten and signed by R. Avraham Yitzchak HaKohen Kook, Chief Rabbi of Eretz Israel. New York (United States), 1924.

Both letters are addressed to the "members of the Chief Rabbinate of Eretz Israel", during R. Kook's famous visit to the United States, along with R. Moshe Mordechai Epstein, R. Meir Dan Plotzky, and R. Avraham Dov Ber Kahana-Shapiro, the Devar Avraham.

In the first letter, dated Iyar 1924 (from New York), R. Kook describes the difficulty in fulfilling a certain task, which he promises to deal with upon his return to the Holy Land, by correspondence with the American rabbis and public workers, and adds: "May we merit to meet with joy and happy hearts on the holy soil, in the faithful holy work of uplifting the Torah's pride in the Holy Land and in our holy city… Avraham Yitzchak H[aKohen] K[ook]".

In the second letter, dated Av of the same year (from Far Rockaway, Queens, New York), R. Kook writes of his dealings with the English ambassador to the United States, who "fulfilled my request in the best way". He adds a blessing for a good judgment and peace for the people and land of Israel, and reiterates: "May we merit to meet with joyous hearts on the holy soil, in the faithful holy work of uplifting the Torah's pride in the Holy Land and in our holy city… Avraham Yitzchak H[aKohen] K[ook]".
