The letters deal with charity and Chessed and were sent to the Chassid philanthropist Rabbi Shimon Steinberg. In one of the letters which were written at the beginning of World War II, the holy Rav Rabbi Meir pleadingly writes 'to be always brought good tidings and especially from Europe ... so may be it'.
An additional letter is by the pious Rebbetzen renowned for her charity Mrs. Ruchama Mirel Leifer, the daughter of the holy Rav Rabbi Alter Ze'ev of Strizov Melitz, the granddaughter of the Tzaddikim of Shendishov, Melitz, Rupshitz and Nikolsburg. Her first marriage was to Rabbi Naftali Ungar of Neimark and her second to the holy Admor of Cleveland.
The letter was written on her holy husband's official stationery and on its back, her daughter Mrs. Reichel Leifer added a letter of regards. These two letters are in Yiddish.
