== The Frierdiker Rebbe's Letters ==
"B"H 3rd of Kislev 5702, Brooklyn. To the Organization of Rabbi Baruch Dov's Students, may Hashem be upon them!

In response to your invitation to participate in the hilula of my friend the Gaon, their teacher and master Rabbi Baruch Dov, his memory and his talks on ahavas haTorah and chibas hamitzvos are very dear to me, and I am hereby sending a check for twenty shekalim - for the elevation of his holy soul - for Kamenitz Yeshiva, and together with this I am sending my bracha to the rabbanim directors and to the talmidim, may they live, that they should succeed in their holy work and magnify and glorify Torah."

In 5704, the Frierdiker Rebbe sent another letter of bracha for the gathering, in which he emphasizes at the beginning of the letter immediately after his tremendous genius, that he was a "baal midos neimos" (person of pleasant character traits). In that letter, the Frierdiker Rebbe blesses them that they should merit to follow in the footsteps of his Torah and his "most elevated midos," and at the end of the letter he includes Rabbi Baruch Ber among the "geonei Yisroel and tzadikei yesodei olam" (the geniuses of Israel and the righteous foundational pillars of the world).

=== second letter: ===
"B"H 3rd of Kislev 5704 Brooklyn. To the Organization of Students of Kamenitz Yeshiva, may Hashem be upon them, shalom and bracha!

In response to the invitation card to take part in remembering my friend the mighty Gaon, possessor of pleasant midos, his honored name of glory Moreinu HaRav Baruch Dober on his yahrzeit, I am participating with those who cherish his name and memory, and I bless them that Hashem's pleasantness should be upon them to walk in the footsteps of his Torah and the pleasantness of his most elevated midos, and his merit should protect them and all who cherish the geonei Yisroel and tzadikei yesodei olam, may their merit protect us."
