Letter by R. Avraham Aryeh Leib b. Nahman Zevi Rosen (1870-1951) rabbi of Falticeni, Romania. An erudite scholar he wrote Sha'agat Aryeh (Husiatyn 1905) a eulogy on the Admor of Chortkov. He served in several noted towns before Falticeni were he stayed for many years. His son, R. Moses Rosen, decribes him as "the perfect symbiosis between the written Word and the One whom he represents today in this world". He died in 1951 (5712), on the second night of Rosh Hashanah and was laid to rest in Jerusalem, in the Sanhedria cemetery.
