The letter begins with the words 'If indeed I am not responsible at all, anyway, this, the right thing to do with charity money is to give from mine to Kollel Grodno". He continues to describe the difficult material situation in Poland and estimates the value of the amount after the money is exchanged in Poland.
The Gaon Rabbi Chaim Ozer ends the letter with varied blessings and his full signature.
