Three postcards in the handwriting and signature of Rabbi Moshe Haskin which were sent to the Governor Michal Haris in various months in 1939 after Rabbi Moshe Haskin published his book "Kalkalat Shviyit"'. In the postcards, the genius details the contents of the book and writes about himself: "I am a refugee of Russia rabbis who came here six years ago naked and destitute, and the book cost me a very decent amount ...", and asks the governor Michal Haris to help cover the expenses.
