Documents testifying to the close friendship between the two rabbis of this region. One from 16th of Adar, 1939, “firstly wanted to share with my close friend that my wife gave birth to a son, may Hashem help me to raise him to sagacity and to educate him in Torah and Yira to the benefit of his family. “ Later he asks that the recipient find him matzot since Pesach was coming, and he ends with “a kosher and happy chag to my friend, Leivush Beer Halpert, Av Beit Din.” The second letter was written a few days later, probably in response to Rav Babad’s response which he received, from “23 Adar 1939, wishing you a kosher and happy chag…in response to your card I wish to convey my warm thanks for your blessings which came from the heart…may I merit further blessings like these…” and then he thanks him for the matzot shmurot that he was able to send him, and he later asks him to send the book Ateret Zvi, and asks a question regarding a mistake which was written into a ketubah (instead of writing “father of the Betula” it was written “mother of the Betula”, and he engages in a lengthy pilpul on the subject until the other side of the page, after which he ends with lengthy phrases of friendship and signs.
