This letter was sent to R. Moshe Shapiro, a leader of HaPoel HaMizrachi, one of the religious parties in Eretz Yisrael, who served as the Minister of the Interior at that time.

Greetings and blessings,

I duly received your telegram and now your letter from 7 Tammuz. Thank you for both of them.

The fact that the United Religious Front was not maintained in this time of great responsibility is [a source of] great pain and ample embarrassment. May it be G‑d’s will that, at least now, the heads of the parties will themselves realize sufficient [inner] strength to place the interests of observant Jewry as a whole above the imagined gains for their parties and establish a united front after the elections at the very least. [For the achievement of this greater good] will bring about an advantage for their party as a party.

With greetings and blessings for success,
