Rosh Chodesh Menachem Av 1931.
Written on Rabbi Kook's official stationery.
This is a nice example of the help Rabbi Kook willingly gave to each and every Jew and a special expression of his well-known charitability.
The policeman who is mentioned here, Yosef Bitter, is most likely the person who served as the secretary of "Tze'irei Ha'Mizrachi" in his city of Rembertów, Poland and who immigrated to the Land of israel during the 1920's. He died in 1946.
Condition: Good. Reasonable wrinkles and folding marks.
