Letter by Rabbi Nochum Partzovitz, future Rosh Yeshivah of Mir in Yerushalayim.
Rabbi Nochum Partzovitz was among the famous Mir Yeshivah students who fled to Shanghai and later moved to the United States.

He likewise notes his personal discussions with Hagaon Harav Avraham Kalmanowitz and Harav Yechezkel Levenstein regarding his dilemma.
Some two months later, in the month of Tammuz 5709 (1949), Rabbi Nochum Partzovitz sailed to Eretz Yisrael. There, he married the daughter of the Rosh Yeshivah Hagaon Harav Chaim Shmuelevitz, whom he ultimately succeeded as Rosh Yeshivah of Mir.
