Lengthy letter (21 lines) handwritten and signed by R. Avraham Yitzchak HaKohen Kook, Chief Rabbi of Eretz Israel. Jerusalem, Elul 1932.

Addressed to R. Yechezkel Abramsky in London, who was appointed rabbi of the Machazikei HaDat community that year.

Letter of recommendation for Sherira Levin, son of Dr. Binyamin Menashe Levin [R. Kook's friend and disciple], publisher of the Letter of R. Sherira Gaon and Otzrot HaGeonim – who was traveling to London for his studies. R. Kook asks R. Abramsky to provide both the spiritual and material assistance he will be in need of during his studies.

R. Kook concludes with a blessing for a Ketivah VaChatimah Tovah, signing his name "Avraham Yitzchak H[aKohen] K[ook]".

R. Abramsky had escaped Russia in 1932 (after much persecution and imprisonment) and reached England, where he was appointed rabbi of the Machazikei HaDat community in London where R. Kook had previously served, during his stay in London during World War I.
