Letter of Rabbi Shlomo Zalman Piness to Rabbi Yechezkel Sarna, head of 'Hebron' Yeshiva, who probably took care of the printing of his books.

He writes in length about the technical details of the printing and asks about Rabbi Yechezkel's health.
The letter notes that Rabbi Piness intended to publish several volumes about Maimonides. Finally, in 1954, his book 'Panas Shlomo' was indeed published and Rabbi Sarna wrote its introduction. The book was published after his death and Rabbi Weinberg wrote: "Outlines for the Image of the Author".
Rabbi Shlomo Zalman Piness (1874-1955) was born in Minsk in Lithuania. During World War I, he moved to Zurich. He was most knowledgeable in the Torah and was of great depth, an attribute that was manifested in his many books and mostly in his masterpiece 'Mussar Ha'Mikra Ve'HaTalmud'. He was in close contact with Rabbi Kook and their correspondence about Kiddush Hashem is especially known. His grandson, Rabbi Moshe Sternbuch serves as head of rabbinical court of the Haredi community in Jerusalem.
