Letter handwritten and signed by R. Avraham Yitzchak HaKohen Kook, Rabbi of Jerusalem. Jerusalem, 1920.

The letter is addressed to Dr. Moshe Wallach, administrator and founder of the Shaarei Tzedek hospital. R. Kook recommends and requests work for a young Jewish pharmaceutical expert interested in cutting off ties with missionaries and working in Shaarei Tzedek under Dr. Wallach.

We do not know whether Dr. Wallach accepted this request, but Dr. Wallach was reputed to generally be uncompromising in his principle not to accept anyone as patient or staff who stayed in or worked for the missionary hospitals.
