Letter handwritten and signed by R. Moshe Feinstein. [New York], Nisan 1947.

Sent to his friend R. Yechezkel Abramsky, "chief rabbi of the Beit Din of Slutsk and now head of the rabbis of London". R. Moshe writes to him on the publication of his Dibrot Moshe on Tractate Bava Kama, and asks him to study it and send him his comments and opinions on the book: "And remembering our great friendship while yet in Russia, I hope that you will receive it happily and appreciate it, and I would be very happy if you would read it and write me your opinion about it…".
R. Moshe Feinstein concludes with blessings for Pesach for him, his family and the Jewish people, signing, "Your friend who loves you with heart and soul, Moshe Feinstein". On the margins of the letter he writes that the book had been sent the previous week by normal post and the letter by airmail.

R. Moshe Feinstein (1895-1986), foremost halachic authority in the United States. A leader of Orthodox Jewry, he served as president of the Union of Orthodox Rabbis of the United States and Canada, and chairman of the Moetzet Gedolei HaTorah. He was the dean of the Tiferet Yerushalayim yeshiva in New York. He authored Responsa Igrot Moshe, Dibrot Moshe – Talmudic novellae, and Darash Moshe – novellae on the Torah.
R. Moshe Feinstein had served as Rabbi of Lyuban, Belarus in 1921-1936 under the Bolsheviks, and apparently it was during this period that he met R. Abramsky (1886-1976), who served as Rabbi of Slutsk from 1923-1930 until his arrest and exile to Siberia.
