He tells Rav Katznelbeugen that he received money to give to a talmid chacham before Sukkot so that he could buy what he needs for the chag. He writes strict rules regarding the giving of the money: “The check will be given to two avrechim and the dollars will be given to four avrechim…following the stipulations detailed here”.
