Letter in Yiddish from January 1948 handwritten by the pious Rebbetzin, addressed to the confidante of the of the Tzaddikim of Satmar, Munkatch, Schotz and Belz, the rabbinic Chassid rabbi Zvi Pinchas Hacohen Moskowitz of Jerusalem, describing the state of Maran of Satmar’s health, the efforts to return to Eretz Yisroel immediately when salvation and redemption occur and additional matters. 

‘כהאב אלץ געהאפט יעדע וואך פאהרט מען. מיר יעצט אבער בעלי הרה"צ שליט"א גאר…פחד אין השי"ת זאל זעך מרחם זיין און העלפין זאל זיין שטיל און מ’ שוין קומען די רעכטע ישועה’
