A request by the author of the Chashav Sofer from Rabbi Tzadok Kroiz to receive a detailed report on the possibility of settling disputes within Kollel Shomrei Hachomot and holding agreed-upon elections:
"ואנו מריחוק מקום קשה לדון על מעמד ומצב העניינים עד היכן מגיעים וכי יש תקוה נשקפה לגשת אל הבחירות ע"כ אמרתי בלבי כי מי כחכם כמותו היודע פתר דבר הבקי מקדמת דנן בתהלוכת ענייני כוללנו ואשר כל… חפצו לחזק את בדקי כוללנו אשר יסדו הראשונים כמלאכים… מאד ישמח לבי אם יאבה כ"מ להודיעני חוו דעתו… אם יש אפשרות להשכין השלום בין הכתות למען יבא הכל על מקומו בשלום".
