Two letters by Rabbi Moshe Guttman, to the management of "Torat Chaim" Yeshiva in Jerusalem. Brisk of Lithuania, Cheshvan 1923; Av 1925. In the first letter the writer advises how to request from the Ga'avad [Rabbi Yitzchak Ze'ev Soloveitchik, who was appointed at that time Rabbi of Brisk] to head the committee for the yeshiva's benefit, to be his father, Rabbi Chaim's successor: "Write to him and request that he head and preside over the committee like his father and that he sign letters and write as necessary. And I note that I saw a letter sent to him and they should have written with the titles of honor also Pe'er Hador since this is the customג€¦". In the second letter he writes to them that "when they send the letter to the Ga'avad, they should also send a letter to Rabbi Chaim Ozer Grodzinsky in Vilna and request that he act to benefit the yeshiva".
