Regno. Gaon Yisrael Shlit”a!  
Please forgive me for the delay in my response.  
Regarding the Torah Fund: I must tell the esteemed Rabbi Shlit”a that primarily I understood that my opinion is that the concentration is not correct, but I agreed at the time to the concentration of the Sephardim. The propaganda here for the concentration was that the Mizrachim wanted to acquire influence for themselves, therefore I agreed at that time to the concentration, but now my opinion is, and I have revealed it at the Torah Fund conference here, that it is time to abolish the concentration because now if we abolish it, we can be sure that it will not rise again, but they have insisted on me. My colleagues are waiting for 6 more moments. And since at first I did not want to participate in the work and in the committee, therefore the complaint is not on me, but I spoke with Perl and the young one and complained that he did not provide the esteemed Rabbi Shlit”a with the amount, and he replied to me that as he was told: 19 we have already sent 200 francs.  

Regarding the deception, Moch and Weiss really said to us due to the days of freedom, the committee meeting, but I hope that it will be accepted at our expense to prepare us, and on the condition if 863 the management will approve. After it has been there for some time because it is diabetic and since according to the letters I received for her. I hope she is qualified and certainly will fulfill her position and work for the Haredi Judaism.  
And I am here bowing before the glory of his greatness.</abstract>

רגנו. גאון ישראל שליט״א!
יסלו נא לי על אשר אחרתי בהשו במין.
בדבר קרן התורה: האמת אגיד לכהדר״ג שליט״א שבעיקר הובן גיליתי את דעתי שאין
מן הנכון ההתרכזות, אבל הסכמתי בעתו לההתרכזות ספאה. התעמולה ההמוניה פה לההתרכזות
והמזרחים רצו לרכוש להם את ההשפעה, לזאת הסכמתי אז לההתרכזות,אבל כעת דעתי היא ובן
גיליתי אותה בועידת קרן התורה פה שבא העת לבטל את ההתרכז זה כי כעת באם נבטל אותה
להיות בטוחים שלא תקום עוד, אבל רבו עלי. חברי לחכות 6 עוד מעט. ויען כי מתחלה
לא רציתי להשתתף בהעבודה ובהועד לזאת לא עלי התלונה,אבל דברתי את פרל
וי
הצעיר והתלוננתי על אשר לא המציא לכהדר״ג שליט״א את הכמום והשיב לי שכפי שאמר לו:19
הג&apos;זנו כבר שלח 200 פרנקים.
. בדבר הערמה מוח ווייס ממש פטרוזי נאמרם היתה לנו מפאת ימי החופש, ישיבת
הוועד אבל מקווה הנני שתקובל על חשבוננו להכימנו, ובתנאי אם 863 הנהלת המימנו. האשר
אחר היותה שמה איזה זמן כי סוכרת היא וויען כי כפי המכתבים שקבלתי עבורה. מקווה
שמוכשרת היא ובוודאי חמלא ברצ״ה את משרתה ועבודתה בעד היהדות החרדית.
והנני בזה המשתחווה מול הדרת גאונו</p>
