Handwritten by the Rebbe, reproduced in lithograph".
In the letter, Rebbe Rayatz relates of the breakup of the Torah Emet yeshiva in Jerusalem during WWI, how its director, R. Shlomo Zalman Havlin, was compelled to return to Europe during the war, and of the latter's return to the yeshiva in Jerusalem after the war. Further in the letter, the Rebbe arouses Chabad Chassidim in Eretz Israel to instill within themselves a spirit of revival in worship of G-d, and bids them to invest great effort into raising the prestige of the yeshiva, both materially and spiritually, and rendering it well established. Furthermore, the Rebbe stresses that R. Havlin is the only director of the yeshiva, his word is conclusive in yeshiva matters, and donations for the yeshiva should be sent to him only.
