Letter handwritten and signed by Rabbi "Avraham Yehuda Farbstein", to his teacher, author of the Chazon Ish. [Jerusalem, 1940s]. In the letter, he informs the Chazon Ish that he has completed the mission to the Brisker Rav [Rabbi Yitzchak Ze'ev Soloveitchik], and has brought him tefillin straps that were processed with hiddur in honor of the mitzvah of tefillin. He writes that the Rav "had asked me to inform and write that he wants and needs another three pairs and the only reason he asked for only one in the first place, was because he heard from Rabbi Shlomo Karelitz that only two pairs were produced from the leather…". On the letter margins is a comment on a treatise of Seder Kodshim [Tractate Zevachim].
