Letter in Hebrew and Yiddish sent by the holy Gaon Rabbi Chaim Bezalel Panet Av Beis Din of Retig, the grandson of the holy Rav the Mareh Yechezkel of Deyzh. 

The letter contains greetings to his dear parents. The letter was written in 1913, 15 years after the passing of his holy father, thus referring to the second husband of his pious mother. 

In the letter, he recalls that his friend Rabbi Moshe Menachem has informed him that he has been accepted as Shoches and Bodek of Onod. 

The second half of the letter was written to his mother, the pious Rebbetzin, in Yiddish. On verso of the postcard, he asks about a Shiduch for the daughter of the philanthropist Rabbi Moshe Tishler of Klausenburg, describing the parties’ economic situation and their virtues.
