A long interesting letter by Rabbi Avraham Chaim Na'eh, to Rabbi Avraham Yeshaya Karelitz. Jerusalem, Tishrei 1943.
The letter deals mainly with the measure of the Draham weight, written at the request of the Chazon Ish by Rabbi A.C. Na'eh to write him the results of his study of the subject. The matter of the measures caused a great disagreement between the Chazon Ish and his brother-in-law the Steipler, and Rabbi Chaim Na'eh of Jerusalem. In the opinion of the Chazon Ish, the measure of an Amah (cubit) and a Revi'it were larger than the measures Rabbi Chaim Na'eh wrote in his book Shi'urei Torah. Concerning that polemic, the Chazon Ish requested the Steipler to write the halachic works Shi'urin D'Oreita (Bnei Brak, 1948) and Eifat Tzedek (Bnei Brak, 1949). In response to Shi'urin D'Oreita, Rabbi Chaim wrote Shi'urei Zion, about which the Steipler wrote in the introduction to his book Eifat Tzedek that "Shi'urei Zion was arranged entirely for the purpose of criticizing my words and my book Shi'urin D'Oreita…".
This letter written with amity and respect as is the way of the Torah, Rabbi A.C. Na'eh summarizes his words concerning the weight of the Draham from a book which he was about to print on this matter. [The manner in which he wrote his opinion is like correspondence between two friends who are studying the same treatise and no traces of the polemic which for many years shook the Torah world can be discerned]. At the end of the letter, Rabbi Na'eh mentions the name of his daughter for which to pray "that G-d should send a proper match for my eldest daughter Sarah Faiga" and he signs his name and the name of his mother: Avraham Chaim son of Musa".
