Lot of two items.
Signed letter in which the Sdei Chemed expresses disbelief over the fact that he had sent copies of his seforim to two distinguished individuals and has not been compensated for them. He writes that perhaps he should attribute the lack of payment to the fact that they had not requested the seforim, however he would at least expect that they would return them if they are not of interest. He concludes the letter writing how it pains him to have to spend his time writing letters regarding such matters, since time is precious to all Bnai Torah and even to simple individuals like himself.
